Morse Code Chart
The complete International Morse Code set — letters, numbers, and punctuation. Use it as a quick reference, or translate a message with the tool and hear it out loud.
International Morse Code assigns every letter, digit, and common symbol its own short sequence of dots and dashes. It's the standard used worldwide in amateur radio, aviation, and maritime signaling. The chart below is the exact mapping the translator uses, so what you see here is what you'll get when you encode or decode a message.

How to use this chart
Each character maps to a unique pattern of dots (·) and dashes (—). When you write Morse by hand, leave a single space between letters and a slash ( / ) between words so a reader can tell where one word ends and the next begins. That's the same format the translator uses.
If you're starting from scratch, the Learn Morse Code guide walks through a memory-friendly order for picking up the alphabet, and How to Read Morse Code explains the timing in more detail.
Tips for reading the chart
- Common letters are short. E is a single dot and T is a single dash — the most frequent letters were deliberately given the shortest codes.
- Numbers follow a pattern. Every digit is exactly five signals long and shifts from dots to dashes as it climbs. See Morse code numbers for the full logic.
- Punctuation is longer. Symbols use five or six signals because they come up less often. The punctuation guide lists the ones you'll actually need.
- Learn by sound. The fastest way to remember the chart is to hear each character rather than memorize the dots visually — the translator's audio player makes that easy.
Chart FAQ
How do I read the Morse code chart?
Find the letter, number, or symbol you want, then read its sequence of dots and dashes from left to right. A dot is a short signal and a dash is a long one, about three times the length of a dot.
Can I print this Morse code chart?
Yes. Use your browser's print option (Ctrl+P or Cmd+P). The chart is laid out to print cleanly on a single page in most browsers.
Is this International Morse Code?
Yes. The chart shows International Morse Code, which is the standard used worldwide for amateur radio, aviation, and maritime communication. It differs slightly from the original American Morse code, which is now rarely used.
