How it sounds

Count two opening dits

The first two short marks are the giveaway. The remaining three marks are dahs.

1 has one opening dit; 3 has three. 2 sits directly between them.

How to type it

Two dots, three dashes

Type two periods followed by three hyphens as one five-mark digit.

Check copied spacing

Keep a letter gap after 2 so the following character does not attach to the number pattern.

Avoid mixups

Common number mistakes

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

One opening dit is 1, not 2.

Three opening dits changes 2 into 3.
