Numbers 0–9
Each digit has five marks. From 1 to 5, add leading dots; from 6 to 9, add leading dashes. Zero is five dashes, while O has only three.

..---- 3
...--- 4

Multi-digit examples
Encode each digit separately and keep character gaps. A multi-digit number has no single combined code.
10 → .---- -----
100 → .---- ----- -----
2026 → ..--- ----- ..--- -....
Punctuation and signs
These common signs have codes in the ITU reference. In written Morse, / separates words; encode the slash character itself as -..-.
- .
.-.-.-- ,
--..--- :
---...- ?
..--..- '
.----.- -
-....-- /
-..-.- (
-.--.- )
-.--.-- "
.-..-.- =
-...-- +
.-.-.- @
.--.-.
Additional supported signs
These additional signs are supported by the converter but are outside the punctuation table in the linked ITU standard. Other references may use different conventions.
- !
-.-.--- &
.-...- ;
-.-.-.- _
..--.-- $
...-..-
Timing and spacing
Use one dot as a time unit: dot 1, dash 3; gaps within a character 1, between characters 3, between words 7.
Learn Morse code →Morse code lookup tree
Start at the root. A dot goes left; a dash goes right. This tree includes A–Z and 0–9. Empty nodes are steps, not letters.
This chart uses International Morse A–Z, not American landline Morse or other writing systems.
ITU-R M.1677-1 ↗2 · Keep the groups separate
A space separates written characters and / separates words. The numeric examples preserve each digit as its own group.
3 · Print or follow the tree
Download the reference PDF, print this chart, or follow dot-left and dash-right branches in the lookup tree.
One chart for letters, digits and signs
The International Morse A-Z alphabet and 0-9 digits share the same timing rules. The punctuation section lists common standard signs; extra converter-supported signs are labelled separately.
Numbers have five marks
From 1 to 5, leading dots increase. From 6 to 9, leading dashes increase; 0 has five dashes. Compare 0 (-----) with O (---). Encode 10, 100 or 2026 digit by digit rather than joining their marks.
Use the tree as a lookup aid
Each dot takes the left branch and each dash the right branch. Stop at the end of the character. The tree is a visual reference; listening practice helps you recognize a whole sound rhythm.
Read HELLO as five complete groups
H .... E . L .-.. L .-.. O ---The same L group occurs twice. Play the letters in the chart, then try the introductory listening exercises.
Learn to read and hear Morse code →Questions before you start
Does this page include Morse code numbers?
Yes. The numbers section contains all digits 0-9, their five-mark patterns and multi-digit examples.
Can I print or download a PDF chart?
Yes. Download the English or Chinese PDF, or use Print chart to print the reference without the rest of the website.
How do I read the lookup tree?
Start at the root, go left for a dot and right for a dash. The tree covers A-Z and 0-9.
Can this chart encode Chinese or Japanese text?
It uses International Morse with Latin letters. Changing the interface language does not add Chinese character codes or Japanese Wabun Morse.
