Korean/Hangul is not supported (this uses the international Morse table, which covers Latin letters, digits, and a few punctuation symbols only).
Morse code was developed in the 1830s and 40s by Samuel Morse and Alfred Vail for use on the telegraph, encoding letters and digits as sequences of short (dot) and long (dash) signals. It went on to serve as the official maritime and aviation distress signaling standard for over a century, and SOS (···–––···) remains one of the most recognized distress signals to this day.
Every letter and digit maps to a fixed dot-dash pattern under the international standard table. A single space separates letters, while a longer gap — shown here as " / " — separates words. Playback timing follows the PARIS standard, where the duration of one "unit" in milliseconds equals 1200 divided by the words-per-minute (WPM) speed you choose.
The international Morse table used here only defines patterns for Latin letters, digits 0-9, and a handful of punctuation marks — it does not cover Korean/Hangul or other non-Latin scripts. Any character outside that table is simply dropped from the Morse output rather than mistranslated.
