        I’d say it’s quinary but can easily be represented binarily

        1. short mark, dot or dit ( ▄ ): 1

        2. longer mark, dash or dah ( ▄▄▄ ): 111

        3. intra-character gap (between the dits and dahs within a character): 0

        4. short gap (between letters): 000

        5. medium gap (between words): 0000000

      Unless I’m mistaken I would say that it’s the other way around, Morse code is more like a human readable machine language expressed in binary because the 26 character alphabet is expressed in different binary values, much like ASCII.
