Message to Morse code

Fold accents, then encode to dots and dashes with / between words.

  1. 1.Remove accents
  2. 2.Morse code translator

International Morse covers the unaccented Latin letters, the digits and a handful of punctuation marks. Anything outside that has no code, so the first step folds accented letters down to their base forms and the second encodes what remains.

Words are separated by a slash, which is the convention for written Morse and the one thing that makes a long string readable back. Both steps run locally in your browser — nothing is transmitted anywhere, which is a joke that writes itself.

Questions

Why a slash between words?
Written Morse needs a visible word break: a single space already separates letters. The slash is the standard mark for the longer gap, and it is what a decoder expects.
Can it decode Morse back to text?
Yes, on the tool's own page — switch the direction to decode. This recipe pins encoding.
What happens to characters Morse does not cover?
They are skipped and counted in the tally, so you can see whether anything was dropped rather than finding out later.
