How it sounds
Hear three long dahs
8 begins like O, then adds two short dits at the end.
O is only three dahs. 8 continues with two final dits.
How to type it
Three dashes, two dots
Type three hyphens followed by two periods as one five-mark digit.
Keep the dits attached
The two final dots belong to 8. Do not separate them as another Morse letter.
Common number mistakes
Every Morse digit uses five marks, so missing one dot or dash can change the answer.
O is three dahs. 8 has two extra dits after those dahs.
7 starts with two dahs. 9 starts with four. 8 sits between them.
