Morse Code Numbers
Tip: press ▶ on any row in the chart below to hear that character.
Every digit from 0 to 9 has its own Morse code pattern built from exactly five dots and dashes. Type a number to convert it, or use the chart below to look up and hear each one.

The pattern behind Morse code numbers
Numbers are the most orderly part of Morse code. Each digit uses five symbols, and they follow a simple logic: 1 is one dot then four dashes (.----), and each higher number swaps one more dash for a dot until 5 is five dots (.....). From 6 the pattern reverses, starting with a dash and adding one more as you climb to 0, which is five dashes (-----). Once you see the pattern, all ten digits are easy to remember.
How to translate numbers to Morse code
Type any number into the tool above and it converts each digit to its five-symbol pattern, separated by spaces. To decode, paste the dots and dashes and read the digits back. You can also mix numbers and letters in the main translator for full messages.
Frequently asked questions
What is the Morse code for numbers?
Each digit 0–9 uses five dots and dashes. For example, 1 is .----, 5 is ....., and 0 is -----. See the full chart above.
Why are Morse code numbers five symbols long? Using a fixed five-symbol length keeps digits distinct from letters and from each other, which reduces mistakes when sending.
How do I write my phone number in Morse code? Convert each digit using the chart, separating digits with a space. The translator above does it automatically.
