But punctuation marks are rather exotic Morse codes and many people don't use them. For instance, when I lived in the USSR, I could receive a telegram that looked like this: Great wishes for birthday ZPT hope you are well ZPT see you soon TCHK ZPT and TCHK are Russian abbreviation (written in Latin letters here) for a comma and full stop. Did you have in old times something similar when a postman brought you (paper) telegrams? I think it is not necessary to remind you that a paper telegram is a postcard with telegram lines glued on it. Bye, All!
