❓ Frequently Asked Questions
What is Morse code? ▾
Morse code is a method of encoding text using sequences of dots (·) and dashes (–). Developed in the 1830s for telegraph communication, it's still used today in aviation and amateur radio.
What does SOS mean in Morse code? ▾
SOS (... --- ...) is the international distress signal. It was chosen because it's easy to transmit and recognize — three dots, three dashes, three dots — not because of any specific words.
How do I separate words in Morse code? ▾
Words are separated by a forward slash (/) with spaces on each side. Letters within a word are separated by a single space. This tool handles the formatting automatically.
