What different light? Isn't Morse simply the first (variable bit) binary character encoding standard, which was followed by the 5-bit Baudot, various 6, 7, and 8 bit encodings, and finally (we hope) by the 21 bit Unicode? Morse's fundamental purpose was really the same as the others, and the medium makes no difference. As has been demonstrated, you can transmit Unicode by aural dit's and dah's or by flashlight if you want.
