The standard weighting in Morse Code or CW (for continuous wave signaling) considers the dot as the standard unit of length and:
So, MORSE CODE would be:
− −
− − −
• − •
• • •
•
− • − •
− − −
− • •
•
Or, to show the letters broken into dots and dashes, and those into on and off segments:
| M | O | R | S | E | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| − | − | − | − | − | • | − | • | • | • | • | • | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| C | O | D | E | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| − | • | − | • | − | − | − | − | • | • | • | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
There's also what's called the Farnsworth method used in training — the letters themselves are sent at a higher speed with the inter-character and inter-word spaces exaggerated. Maybe the letters sent at 20 wpm speed, but spaced out for a net 5 wpm rate. The idea is to copy the characters themselves at a high speed, but with extra time to make the connection. Once you can copy reasonably well at that speed, the spaces are shortened with the letters left the same, until you're copying at a net 20 wpm rate. Beyond that speed you need to start hearing words rather than characters anyway.

The Wabun Code respresents syllables, as the Katakana characters do.
When mixed with International Morse Code,
prosigns are used to indicate the start and end of Wabun Code
sections.
