• During 1926 the International Telegraph Communications Advisory Committee of the International Telecommunication Union met in Berlin and immortalised Baudot by designating the baud - shortened from his name - as the unit of telegraph transmission speed.

• During 1949, the French Post Office issued a series of stamps with his portrait. By mistake, the year of his birth was given as 1848, not the correct 1845. The stamp was corrected and reprinted with a different color. However, the erroneous stamps still circulate among philatelists and have greater value than the corrected stamps.
