How to read it
Dots, dashes and spacing
Each character is a unique pattern of dots (short) and dashes (long). The most common letters have the shortest codes — E is a single dot. and T a single dash - — which makes everyday text faster to send. Numbers always use five symbols.
Timing matters as much as the symbols: a dash is three dots long, the gap between symbols in a letter is one dot, the gap between letters is three dots, and the gap between words is seven dots (written as a slash). Keep that spacing and your Morse stays readable by both people and this decoder.
Answers
Chart FAQ
How do I read the Morse code chart?
Find a letter or number and read its sequence of dots and dashes. A dot is a short signal, a dash is a long one — three times the length of a dot.
How are letters and words separated?
Inside a word, leave a one-space gap (three dot units) between letters. Between words, leave a longer gap, written as a slash (/).
Is this the international Morse code chart?
Yes. It follows International Morse code (ITU-R M.1677), the standard used worldwide for letters, numbers and common punctuation.
