Be aware that there is no Morse code for \* along with a few other modern characters. Morse was standardized long before modern symbols like the asterisk became widely used in computing or mathematics. Only punctuation needed for telegraphy was included.

It's a bit niche as i don't suppose many people use morse code these days but it was fun to do as a bit of a challenge.

Yeah for sure - I like the challenge aspect of it. I do out of the ordinary stuff from time to time - gets me thinking and sometimes leads to things that end up serving my teams quite well.
