minus-squareBlackRose@slrpnk.netlinkfedilinkarrow-up5·1 year agoI’d say it’s quinary but can easily be represented binarily short mark, dot or dit ( ▄ ): 1 longer mark, dash or dah ( ▄▄▄ ): 111 intra-character gap (between the dits and dahs within a character): 0 short gap (between letters): 000 medium gap (between words): 0000000
minus-squarejungle@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·1 year agoYou can do it with three symbols: Dot: 10 Dash: 1110 Gap: 00 The long gap between words is just three short gaps. There’s a Vsauce video about this: https://youtu.be/HY_OIwideLg
minus-squareBlackRose@slrpnk.netlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·edit-21 year agoLooks right, but would that not already be optimized?
minus-squareBlackRose@slrpnk.netlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·1 year agoOptimized to use less symbols by combining them (long gap between words is just three short gaps). I also think if a sentence ends, there would be the unnessecary 0 from the dots and Dashes at the end.
minus-squarejungle@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up0·1 year agoYeah, that extra 0 also irks me, it’s the typical issue when concatenating words, that requires a trim() at the end. But it’s not an issue in terms of showing that you need three symbols to represent Morse code.

Not sure what you mean by optimized.
