How it sounds
Hear three short dits
The opening is close to S, but 3 keeps going with two dahs after the three dits.
S is only three dits. 3 adds two long marks after that.
How to type it
Three dots, two dashes
Type three periods followed by two hyphens without spaces inside the digit.
Use adjacent digits
Practice 2, 3, and 4 together because the opening dit count changes by one.
Common number mistakes
Every Morse digit uses five marks, so missing one dot or dash can change the answer.
Three dits alone is S. Add two dahs to make 3.
Two opening dits is 2. Four opening dits is 4.

Practice 3 in context
Hear 3, type ...--, then compare it with nearby number and letter patterns so it becomes more than a lookup.
Listening drill
Play S, 3, 2, and 4. Listen for whether the three dits are the whole character or only the start.
Typing drill
Type the three-dit two-dah pattern for 3, then type 303 and 73 with clear spaces between each Morse digit.
Keep practicing 3
Compare nearby digits, hear the signal, then move from lookup to recall in the tools.
