Always been a bit annoyed that people describe Morse as a binary code, it isn’t, it’s technically trinary, you have 3 symbols, dot, dash, and space. Without a space you can’t discern the difference between “hi” and “eeeeee”.

I can’t help but notice how similar the layout is to the English alt layout Colemak, specifically the angle mod version for ISO keyboards. It is cool that this is an official standard layout. Is this planned to replace azerty completely? I don’t see many other countries other than France making such a change, but I am excited that French has water looks to be a very good modern layout.
Morse code is transmitted as a binary code, but that doesn’t make Morse code binary. If that were the case the Latin alphabet would also count as binary because computers transmit it in binary. The rules you describe is the encoding between Morse code’s native trinary alphanumeric encoding into a binary format for transmission.
