Punctuation
Morse code encodes letters, numbers and punctuation as sequences of short signals (dots, or “dits”) and long signals (dashes, or “dahs”). Developed in the 1830s for the electrical telegraph, it can be sent as sound, light, or any on/off signal, which made it the backbone of long-distance communication for over a century.
In the standard timing, a dash is three times as long as a dot, the gap between symbols in a letter is one dot-length, the gap between letters is three, and the gap between words is seven. The famous distress signal SOS is ... --- ... — three dots, three dashes, three dots — chosen because it is simple and unmistakable.
