The Japanese had their own version of Morse to account for their unique syllable based language. I've talked to some ex-FRUPAC (Fleet Radio Unit PACific, the guys tasked with intercepting Japanese signals in WWII) on ham radio about it. There were something like 50+ individual characters they had to learn.
