Morse Code, created by Samuel Morse, was designed to transmit letters
across telegrams. He wanted frequently used letters to have short codes and
less frequently used letters to have longer codes.
It has since been used in many other situations. For a lot more
information, visit the Wikipedia entry on the
topic.
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. It also is geared to help you decode
Morse Code snippets you find with the Reverse (flips the text) and Swap
(exchanges periods and hyphens) links.
You can also insert the following phrases from the Kryptos statue:
SOS,
RQ,
SHADOW FORCES,
VIRTUALLY INVISIBLE,
...T IS YOUR POSITION,
DIGETAL INTERPRETATIT,
LUCID MEMORY.
