Morse Code Alphabet: Every Letter, Number and Symbol — With Sound
This is the complete Morse code alphabet as a working chart, not a picture. Every letter, number, punctuation mark and prosign sits on its own card: tap Play to hear exactly how it sounds, Copy to grab the code, or open it straight inside our Morse Code Translator to see it in action. If you are learning Morse, start with the letters — then try the sound-alike pairs at the bottom, the ones everyone mixes up.
How to use this chart
- Find your character — use the jump bar or the search box inside the chart to go straight to any letter, number or symbol.
- Listen first — Morse operators learn by ear, not by eye. Play each card twice and say the rhythm back: short for a dot, long for a dash.
- Build a word — open a letter in the translator, then add the next one. Three or four letters in, you are reading real Morse.
Letters, numbers and symbols — what changes
Letters use one to four signals — E is a single dot, while J needs four. Numbers always use five signals and follow a counting pattern you can hear: each number is the one before it with one more dash. Punctuation runs longer, five or six signals, because it is used rarely. Prosigns are different again: two letters sent as one joined-up signal with no gap — SOS, three dots, three dashes, three dots with no pauses, is the one the whole world knows.
Learn the sound-alike pairs
Inside the chart you will find the pairs that trip everyone up: B and D, F and L, Q and G. Each pair differs by a single dot or dash. Play both sides back to back until your ear hears the difference on its own — that small drill is worth more than rereading the whole table.
Common questions
What is the Morse code alphabet? It is the full set of dot-and-dash patterns for the letters A to Z, the numbers 0 to 9 and the common punctuation marks. This page shows every one of them on its own card, with the sound, so you can hear the alphabet instead of just looking at it.
How do I learn the Morse code alphabet fast? Learn the sounds, not the pictures. Take a few letters a day, play them in the chart until you recognise the rhythm, then practise inside the translator with real words. The sound-alike pairs drill on this page fixes the confusions that slow most beginners down.
What is SOS in Morse code? SOS is ... --- ... — three dots, three dashes, three dots, sent as one joined-up signal. You will find its card in the Prosigns section of the chart, where you can play it and open it in the translator.
Does every letter have its own Morse code? Yes — all 26 letters, all 10 numbers and the common punctuation marks each have a unique pattern. Nothing in the chart repeats: if two patterns sound almost the same, the pairs drill shows you the one signal that makes them different.
