I think I can help. The SOS signal is an important tool for calling for help in an emergency. It is transmitted using Morse code, which uses a series of dots and dashes to represent letters and symbols. The SOS signal in Morse code consists of three dots, three dashes, and three dots and is recognized worldwide as a distress call. To learn more about the origin and use of the SOS signal, I recommend reading the article about sos morse code, it is detailed there.
