Though Morse is a two symbol encoding, it has 3 inherent problems on why it is not easy to choose this encoding for Minitalk:
- Morse code standard doesn’t support extensive char set, beyond basic alpha numeric characters and a few punctuation symbols. Also, no distinction between upper and lower case.
- Morse code doesn’t have a fixed number of bits for each character like binary does (1 char = 8 bits). Without this fixed length, the encoding and decoding is not uniform like binary, so it makes it complicated.
