Learning Your Aibisi s: Translating Chinese into Morse Code!
summary
This covers historical methods for encoding Chinese into Morse: the 1871 four‑digit codebook that maps thousands of characters to 0000–9999 (producing very long Morse sequences), an 1893 regulatory change treating codebook Chinese as plain text, and later trigraph schemes mapping characters to three Latin letters to roughly halve length. It also mentions an application that converts characters via the codebook pathway (example: 冬 → 0392 → Morse) and shows that using trigraphs/app conversion shortens transmissions.
