Whois & Analysis for morsecodeinfo.com

Morse code is a method of transmitting text information as a series of on-off tones, lights, or clicks that can be directly understood by a skilled listener or observer without special equipment.

It is named for Samuel F. B.

Morse, an inventor of the telegraph.

The International Morse Code encodes the ISO basic Latin alphabet, some extra Latin letters, the Arabic numerals and a small set of punctuation and procedural signals (prosigns) as standardized sequences of short and long signals called "dots" and "dashes", or "dits" and "dahs", as in amateur radio practice.

Because many non-English natural languages use more than the 26 Roman letters, extensions to the Morse alphabet exist for those languages.

Character encoding is used to represent a repertoire of characters by some kind of encoding system.

Depending on the abstraction level and context, corresponding code points and the resulting code space may be regarded as bit patterns, octets, natural numbers, electrical pulses, etc.

A character encoding is used in computation, data storage, and transmission of textual data.

"Character set", "character map", "codeset" and "code page" are related, but not identical, terms.

Translation is the communication of the meaning of a source-language text by means of an equivalent target-language text.

The English language draws a terminological distinction (not all languages do) between translating (a written text) and interpreting (oral or sign-language communication between users of different languages); under this distinction, translation can begin only after the appearance of writing within a language community.

In computing, plain text is the data (e.g. file contents) that represent only characters of readable material but not its graphical representation nor other objects (images, etc).

It may also include a limited number of characters that control simple arrangement of text, such as line breaks or tabulation characters.

Plain text is different from formatted text, where style information is included, and from "binary files" in which some portions must be interpreted as binary objects (encoded integers, real numbers, images, etc).
