How it sounds

Hear five long marks

Listen for a steady run of five dahs. If a short dit appears, it is not zero.

O is a letter with three dahs. 0 is a digit with five dahs.

How to type it

Type five hyphens

Use five keyboard hyphens for zero, then add a space before the next Morse character.

Keep digit context visible

In copied text, write the plain digit as 0, not the letter O, before converting.

Avoid mixups

Common number mistakes

Every Morse digit uses five marks, so missing one dot or dash can change the answer.

Three dahs is O. Count all five dahs before calling it zero.

Four dahs and one dit is 9, so the final mark matters.

Mini practice

Practice 0 in context

Hear 0, type -----, then compare it with nearby number and letter patterns so it becomes more than a lookup.

Listening drill

Play O, 0, 9, and 8. Count the long dahs before deciding whether the sound is a letter or a digit.

Typing drill

Type the five-dah pattern for 0, then type CODE 0 and N0CALL to check that the digit stays clear in context.

Next steps

Keep practicing 0

Compare nearby digits, hear the signal, then move from lookup to recall in the tools.
