How it sounds

Hear two long marks first

The two opening dahs make 7 feel heavier than 6 before the three short dits arrive.

Z is also two dahs then two dits. 7 adds one extra dit.

How to type it

Two dashes, three dots

Type two hyphens followed by three periods without a gap inside the digit.

Check the final dot count

The ending has three dits. Stopping at two can look like Z in learning context.

Avoid mixups

Common number mistakes

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

Z is --.. with two final dits. 7 is --... with three.

8 has three opening dahs, so count the long marks at the start.
