0 through 9

Every digit, every pattern.

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).

DigitMorse CodeSound PatternMemory Tip
0–––––dah-dah-dah-dah-dahAll dashes — "nothing"
1·––––dit-dah-dah-dah-dah1 dot, 4 dashes
2··–––dit-dit-dah-dah-dah2 dots, 3 dashes
3···––dit-dit-dit-dah-dah3 dots, 2 dashes
4····–dit-dit-dit-dit-dah4 dots, 1 dash
5·····dit-dit-dit-dit-ditAll dots — "halfway"
6–····dah-dit-dit-dit-dit1 dash, 4 dots
7––···dah-dah-dit-dit-dit2 dashes, 3 dots
8–––··dah-dah-dah-dit-dit3 dashes, 2 dots
9––––·dah-dah-dah-dah-dit4 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.

FAQ

Morse code numbers, explained.

How do you write 0 in Morse code?
Zero in Morse code is five dashes: –––––. It's the longest single-digit pattern, which helps distinguish it from letters during transmission.
Why do Morse code numbers all have 5 elements?
The International Morse code standard assigns exactly 5 dots or dashes to each digit (0-9). This uniform length makes numbers easy to recognize by rhythm alone, even in noisy conditions.
Can I hear what a phone number sounds like in Morse?
Yes — type any number into the Morse Code Translator and press play. Try your phone number or a memorable date to hear it as audio.
What's the Morse code for 911?
911 in Morse code is: ––––· (9) / · (1) / · (1). Emergency numbers are often practiced by ham radio operators and scouts.
