How it sounds

Hear four long marks

9 almost feels like 0, but it ends with one short dit instead of a fifth dah.

0 is five dahs. 9 changes the final mark to a dit.

How to type it

Four dashes, one dot

Type four hyphens followed by one period as one complete digit.

Check the last mark

The final dot is the difference between 9 and 0.

Avoid mixups

Common number mistakes

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

If the final mark is a dah, the pattern becomes 0.

8 starts with three dahs, so count the long marks before the final short marks.
