Questions about Morse converter

How are letters and words separated?

One space separates letters. A forward slash, or two or more spaces, separates words. In the encoded output, a slash stands for the gap between words.

What happens to characters that have no Morse code?

They pass through unchanged. An é stays an é in the output, and unknown code groups stay as typed when decoding, which makes mistakes easy to spot.

Does upper or lower case matter?

No. Text is converted to capitals first, because Morse has no case, and decoded text always comes back in capitals.

Can it write prosigns such as SOS as one unbroken signal?

No. SOS is treated as three separate letters with spaces between them, not the continuous ...---... prosign.

Which dash character should I type?

The ordinary keyboard hyphen and full stop. Typographic dashes and middle dots are not recognized.
