Morse Code Alphabet Chart A–Z
Each letter in International Morse Code has its own combination of dots and dashes.
The shortest patterns include E as . and T as -.
| Letter | Morse | Letter | Morse |
|---|---|---|---|
| A | .- | N | -. |
| B | -... | O | --- |
| C | -.-. | P | .--. |
| D | -.. | Q | --.- |
| E | . | R | .-. |
| F | ..-. | S | ... |
| G | --. | T | - |
| H | .... | U | ..- |
| I | .. | V | ...- |
| J | .--- | W | .-- |
| K | -.- | X | -..- |
| L | .-.. | Y | -.-- |
| M | -- | Z | --.. |
For letter-only practice with larger cards and audio controls, use the Morse Code Alphabet.
Morse Code Numbers 0–9
Every digit uses five signals. The pattern progresses from one dash and four dots for 1 toward five dashes for 0.
-----.----..---...--....-.....-....--...---..----.See the dedicated Morse Code Numbers page for audio, examples, and the five-signal pattern in more detail.
Common Morse Code Punctuation
International Morse Code also includes punctuation and symbols. These are useful when encoding complete messages rather than single words.
| Symbol | Morse Code | Name |
|---|---|---|
| . | .-.-.- | Period |
| , | --..-- | Comma |
| ? | ..--.. | Question mark |
| ‘ | .----. | Apostrophe |
| ! | -.-.-- | Exclamation mark |
| / | -..-. | Slash |
| ( | -.--. | Opening parenthesis |
| ) | -.--.- | Closing parenthesis |
| : | ---... | Colon |
| ; | -.-.-. | Semicolon |
| = | -...- | Equals sign |
| + | .-.-. | Plus sign |
| – | -....- | Hyphen |
| @ | .--.-. | At sign |
How to Read Dots and Dashes
Read each pattern from left to right. A dot is a short signal, while a dash lasts three times as long.
Morse Code Timing and Gaps
Correct spacing separates signals, letters, and words when Morse code is sent as sound or light.
- Between parts of one character: 1 dot unit
- Between letters: 3 dot units
- Between words: 7 dot units

How long is a dash compared with a dot?
A dash lasts three times as long as a dot under International Morse Code timing.
What are the gaps between Morse code letters and words?
Elements inside one character are separated by one dot unit, letters by three dot units, and words by seven dot units.
Is this chart based on International Morse Code?
Yes. The chart follows International Morse Code and the timing relationships defined in ITU-R Recommendation M.1677-1.
