Morse Code Chart
The complete International Morse code (ITU-R M.1677-1). A dash lasts three times as long as a dot. Morse has no upper or lower case — ·− is both A and a. Tap any code to copy it.

Chart questions
Is Morse code still used today?
Yes. Amateur radio operators hold Morse (CW) conversations daily — it remains one of the most reliable modes for weak-signal, long-distance contacts. Navies still train signal-lamp operators, aviation beacons identify themselves in Morse, and its two-symbol simplicity makes it a proven accessibility input method.
What is SOS in Morse code?
SOS is ··· −−− ··· — three dots, three dashes, three dots, sent as one continuous sign with no letter gaps. Adopted internationally in 1906, it was chosen for its unmistakable rhythm; the letters don't stand for anything.
How do numbers work in Morse code?
Every digit is exactly five elements. The count of dots at the start descends as numbers rise: 1 is ·−−−− , 2 is ··−−− , up to 5 which is all dots (·····), then 6 (−····) through 0 (−−−−−) mirror the pattern with dashes. Once you see the system, you know all ten.
How do I download this Morse code chart as a PDF?
Click the Print / save PDF button at the top of this page and choose "Save as PDF" as the destination. You get a clean, one-page Morse code cheat sheet — the full alphabet A–Z, numbers 0–9, punctuation and prosigns with timing rules — free, no signup, no watermark.
Is this printable Morse code chart free?
Yes — print or save as many copies as you like for personal use, classrooms, scout troops, ham radio clubs or emergency kits. It prints black-on-white on a single A4 or US Letter page, so it's cheap on ink and easy to laminate.
How do I read a Morse code chart?
Find the letter, then send its symbols in order: a dot (·, "dit") is one time unit, a dash (−, "dah") is three. Leave one unit between symbols, three between letters, and seven between words. Start with E (·) and T (−), then build up — or practice by ear with the free trainer.
Is this the international Morse code alphabet?
Yes — this chart is the International Morse Code as standardised by the ITU (ITU-R M.1677-1), the version used worldwide by amateur radio, aviation and maritime services. The letters and numbers are identical in every country, which is exactly what makes Morse a universal language.
