Every digit from 0 to 9 in Morse code — each uses exactly 5 dots or dashes. Click any number to hear it, or use the interactive converter below to translate any number sequence.
Each Morse code number uses exactly 5 elements (dots or dashes). The pattern shifts from all-dashes (0) to all-dots (5) and back to all-dashes (9).
| Digit | Morse Code | Sound Pattern | Memory Tip |
|---|---|---|---|
| 0 | ––––– | dah-dah-dah-dah-dah | All dashes — "nothing" |
| 1 | ·–––– | dit-dah-dah-dah-dah | 1 dot, 4 dashes |
| 2 | ··––– | dit-dit-dah-dah-dah | 2 dots, 3 dashes |
| 3 | ···–– | dit-dit-dit-dah-dah | 3 dots, 2 dashes |
| 4 | ····– | dit-dit-dit-dit-dah | 4 dots, 1 dash |
| 5 | ····· | dit-dit-dit-dit-dit | All dots — "halfway" |
| 6 | –···· | dah-dit-dit-dit-dit | 1 dash, 4 dots |
| 7 | ––··· | dah-dah-dit-dit-dit | 2 dashes, 3 dots |
| 8 | –––·· | dah-dah-dah-dit-dit | 3 dashes, 2 dots |
| 9 | ––––· | dah-dah-dah-dah-dit | 4 dashes, 1 dot |
Notice the pattern: 0 starts with all dashes, each subsequent number swaps one dash for a dot until 5 (all dots), then the pattern reverses. This symmetry makes the numbers easier to memorize.
From emergency calls to dates, these number sequences come up frequently in Morse code practice.
