Morse Code is a technique for encoding text as a series of signals. Dots and dashes (also known as dits and dahs) are signals that were initially delivered as electrical current pulses through wires. The most popular encoding is International Morse Code. Each character has its own set of dots and dashes, and rules govern the time between dots, dashes, letters, and words.
When encrypting, only letters and numbers will be encoded and the rest will be treated like spaces. When decrypting, only periods and hyphens will be decoded and the rest will be treated like spaces. This web page uses International Morse Code with some additional enhancements, but without support for foreign characters

Morse code was once widely used, particularly in the military. Even though Morse code has a limited application today, nevertheless it is utilized in aviation, amateur radio, and assistive technology (AT). Amateur radio operators are fond of Morse Code, and it can also be used to send out emergency alerts and emergency signals and is widely used by amateur radio operators.
How do you read Morse code?
Dots and dashes are the two signals used in Morse Code. To master Morse Code, you must first learn to distinguish these signs as well as the spaces between each dot and dash. The dashes are lengthy horizontal lines that look like hyphens, while the dots are simply periods.
The Morse Code alphabet consists of dots and dashes (for instance, the letter "s" is three dots, and "o" is three dashes.) It is activated by tapping the required number of dots and dashes and pausing for the appropriate gap duration. There are more significant gaps between words than between letters in a word. The words or numbers the individual is trying to express using Morse Code are determined by the length of pauses and the number of dots and dashes employed.
Without any extra equipment, a observer may comprehend Morse code, which might be useful in emergencies. This code can be helpful when there are bad signal conditions and decoding the human voice is difficult.
While this code covers the basic Latin alphabet and Arabic numerals, extensions cover languages that use more than the Latin alphabet letters.
Simplicity, carried to the extreme, becomes elegance.
