    Yes, the space is a necessary symbol in Morse code, otherwise it’s impossible to decode.

      Makes sense. I remember asking myself whether Morse was a form of Huffman encoding back when I was learning that stuff. And it kinda is going for that, but without actually doing it properly since it wasn’t a binary code per se and so could use the pauses. “Ternary” makes sense.

        Right, Morse was actually mentioned as an example when I was learning Huffman encoding. :)
