The full International Morse code chart — every letter, digit and punctuation mark, each clickable to hear.
Click any letter to hear its Morse code played out loud.
Digits follow a tidy pattern: 1–5 start with dots, 6–0 start with dashes.
These let you build full, unambiguous sentences in Morse code.
For the full set of punctuation marks, see the Morse Code Punctuation guide.
Morse code has no third symbol for "nothing" — everything is built from how long a signal lasts and how long the silence between signals lasts.
| Element | Length (in "units") | Example |
|---|---|---|
| Dot (dit, ·) | 1 unit | The letter E is a single dot |
| Dash (dah, –) | 3 units | The letter T is a single dash |
| Gap within a letter | 1 unit | Between the dot and dash inside A (·–) |
| Gap between letters | 3 units | Between S and O in SOS |
| Gap between words | 7 units | Shown as / when written out |
A "unit" is just a length of time you pick — faster operators use a shorter unit, learners use a longer one. That's what WPM (words per minute) controls when audio plays.
