What this tool does
International Morse code, as fixed today by ITU-R Recommendation M.1677-1, writes each letter as short and long signals: E, the most common letter in English, is a single dot, and SOS is ··· −−− ···, sent as one unbroken sequence. Here letters are separated by a space and words by a slash, the usual way of writing it down; the converter also reads dots typed as · or •, dashes as −, and words separated by | or three spaces. Accented letters are sent as their plain letter, as most operators do, and characters with no Morse code are counted rather than silently lost.
