Morse Code Numbers
Morse code numbers use five marks each. 1 through 5 build dots then dashes, 6 through 9 build dashes then dots, and 0 is five dashes.
Direct answer
0-9The Morse number chart is 0 = -----, 1 = .----, 2 = ..---, 3 = ...--, 4 = ....-, 5 = ....., 6 = -...., 7 = --..., 8 = ---.., 9 = ----..
Learn them as one five-mark system instead of ten unrelated patterns.

Digit
0
-----
0 is the all-dash Morse number: five long dahs in a row.
Digit
1
.----
1 starts the 1-5 build-up pattern with one dit followed by four dahs.
Digit
2
..---
2 uses two dits followed by three dahs, continuing the 1-5 dot build-up.
Digit
3
...--
3 uses three dits followed by two dahs, right before the 4 and 5 end of the dot build-up.
Digit
4
....-
4 uses four dits followed by one dah, the last mixed digit before 5.
Digit
5
.....
5 is five dits, the midpoint where the 1-5 dot build-up becomes all dots.
Digit
6
-....
6 begins the reverse side of the number system with one dah followed by four dits.
Digit
7
--...
7 uses two dahs followed by three dits, continuing the 6-9 reverse pattern.
Digit
8
---..
8 uses three dahs followed by two dits, one step before the four-dah pattern for 9.
Digit
9
----.
9 uses four dahs followed by one dit, the last mixed number before 0.
How Morse code numbers work
The digit set is easier to memorize when you notice the direction of the dots and dashes.
1-5 build dots
1 starts with one dot, 2 starts with two dots, and 5 is five dots.
6-9 build dashes
6 starts with one dash, 7 with two dashes, 8 with three, and 9 with four.
0 is five dashes
0 completes the number family with five dashes.
Every digit has five marks
That shared length helps you spot missing dots or dashes in copied Morse.
Number examples in Morse
Numbers appear in practical text when you write dates, counts, codes, and radio-style copy.
Date
MAY 9 2026
-- .- -.-- / ----. / ..--- ----- ..--- -....
Dates mix letters and digits, so keep the word and number boundaries visible.
Count
COUNT 5
-.-. --- ..- -. - / .....
Counts are useful short practice prompts because the digit is easy to check.
Code
CODE 73
-.-. --- -.. . / --... ...--
Radio-style examples often mix short words, digits, and shorthand.
Practice numbers with the rest of Morse
Numbers become useful when they sit beside letters, words, and audio practice.
Morse Code Numbers FAQ
Quick answers for spacing, supported characters, and decoding pasted Morse.
What are Morse code numbers?>

What is 0 in Morse code?>
0 in Morse code is five dashes: -----.
How do Morse numbers follow a pattern?>
1 through 5 build dots then dashes. 6 through 9 build dashes then dots. 0 is five dashes.
Can I use numbers with letters in Morse code?>
Yes. Numbers can appear beside letters in dates, counts, codes, and call sign-style examples.
Are individual number pages available?>
