International Morse code (ITU-R M.1677-1): letters are separated by a short gap, written as a space, and words by a longer one, written as /. Letters without a code, such as accented ones, are dropped when encoding.

The standard
International Morse code is defined by the ITU in Recommendation M.1677-1, which also fixes the timing: a dash is three dots long, letters are separated by three dot-lengths and words by seven. Text renderings use spaces and slashes for those gaps.
Characters outside the code
Accented letters and most symbols have no standard code, so they are dropped when encoding. The @ sign (.--.-.) was added in 2004, the most recent addition.
