I remember this from when I did Scouts, morse code is based on what letters are used the most > need to be the shortest signal. I can't remember the rest....
What you are describing is entropy coding, of which the Huffman Code is the optimal method (IIRC). Morse code is efficient but not optimal; not in the least because being a non-prefix code it is necessary to punctuate (add space) between the code symbols for disambiguation.
