Wabun code

Wabun code (和文モールス符号, wabun mōrusu fugō, Morse code for Japanese text) is a form of Morse code used to send Japanese language in kana characters.

[1] Unlike International Morse Code, which represents letters of the Latin script, in Wabun each symbol represents a Japanese kana.

[2] For this reason, Wabun code is also sometimes called Kana code.

[3] When Wabun code is intermixed with International Morse code, the prosign DO ( ▄▄▄ ▄ ▄ ▄▄▄ ▄▄▄ ▄▄▄ ) is used to announce the beginning of Wabun, and the prosign SN ( ▄ ▄ ▄ ▄▄▄ ▄ ) is used to announce the return to International Code.

Kana in Iroha order.
