    You can do it with three symbols:

    1. Dot: 10
    2. Dash: 1110
    3. Gap: 00

    The long gap between words is just three short gaps.

    There’s a Vsauce video about this: https://youtu.be/HY_OIwideLg

        Not sure what you mean by optimized.

          Optimized 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.

            Yeah, 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.
