The spacing between dits and dahs matters in Morse Code. Spacing of various lenghts signify different things.
- Intra-character Spacing playMorseWord('...')}> Space between dits and dahs the length of one dit signify the dits and dahs are part of the same character. E.g. three dits separated by one-dit-long spaces is an "S".
- Inter-character Spacing playMorseWord('. . .')}> Space the length of three dits signify a new letter. A single dit is an "E". Three dits, each separated by three-dit-long spaces, is "EEE".
- Inter-word Spacing playMorseWord('././.')}> Space the length of seven dits signifies a new word. Three dits, each separated by seven-dit-long spaces, is "E E E".
+ Intra-character Spacing playMorseWord('...')}> Spaces between dits and dahs the length of one dit signify the dits and dahs are part of the same character. E.g. three dits (...) separated by one-dit-long spaces is an "S".
+ Inter-character Spacing playMorseWord('. . .')}> Space the length of three dits signify a new letter. A single dit is an "E". Three dits, each separated by three-dit-long spaces (. . .), is "EEE".
+ Inter-word Spacing playMorseWord('././.')}> Space the length of seven dits signifies a new word. Three dits, each separated by seven-dit-long spaces (denoted by a forward slash in this example: ././.), is "E E E".
