Morse Code Alphabet Chart

This Morse code alphabet chart lists the dots and dashes for each letter from A to Z, each number from 0 to 9, the punctuation the tool supports, and the common prosigns. The translator on this page lets you try any of them. It is free, needs no sign-up and runs in your browser, so nothing you enter is uploaded.

Each letter is a pattern of one to four signals, and the most common English letters have the shortest ones: E is a single dot, T is a single dash, A is dot dash. That was deliberate, so that frequent letters are quick to send. Numbers are all five signals long, and a number runs 1 to 5 with one more dot each time, then 6 to 0 with one more dash each time.

Spacing is part of the code. Send one dot of silence between the signals in a letter, three dots between letters, and seven between words. In writing, that is a space between letters and a slash between words.

Prosigns such as <SOS>, <AR> and <SK> are sent with no gaps, as one long character. In this tool, type them in angle brackets. The tables below are built from the same data as the translator, so they always match what it produces.
