Morse code punctuation and numbers
Letters are only half the chart. Digits are five-element patterns; punctuation (period, comma, question mark, slash, and friends) shows up in traffic and puzzles. Tap any row to hear it. For A–Z see the alphabet page.
Digits are five-element patterns. Common punctuation shows up in traffic and puzzles. Letters A–Z live on the alphabet chart. Procedural run-ons (AR, SK, SOS) are on prosigns.
Tap a digit or punctuation mark to hear it.
Numbers 0–9
Every digit is five elements — that length is why number groups feel heavier than letters.
Common punctuation
Practical International set — period, comma, question, slash, and friends. Tap any mark to hear it. Equals / plus border on prosign territory; check prosigns if you need BT / AR as run-ons.
When to use
Looking up `/` `.` `?` before a QSO-style drill; practicing number groups; decoding a puzzle that isn’t plain letters; confirming a digit before a listen session.
When not
Prosigns like AR/SK/SOS are procedural signals — see prosigns and SOS, not this punctuation table alone. Don’t expect every obscure symbol chart invented on the internet.
Assumptions
Common International Morse digits and a practical punctuation subset (not every archival mark). Tap-to-hear via the shared audio engine.

How it works
- Scan digits 0–9 or a punctuation mark in the table.
- Tap to play that pattern at a moderate WPM.
- Optional: take number groups into listening practice for ear drills.
Digits = five-element patterns · punctuation varies by mark · dit ms ≈ 1200 / WPM
Gotchas
- Some “symbol” charts invent emoji-like mappings — we don’t.
- Equals / wait / break marks blur into prosign territory — check prosigns.
- Number groups feel longer than letters; slow Farnsworth first.
- SOS is a prosign, not a punctuation row — use the SOS page.
Compare
Digits vs punctuation
Digits are five-element patterns (0 is five dahs). Punctuation varies by mark — period, comma, question, slash, and friends show up in traffic and puzzles. Prosigns like AR/SK/SOS are procedural run-ons: see prosigns and SOS, not this table alone.
Study order
Letters first (alphabet), then digits, then a few marks you actually meet. Number groups feel longer — keep Farnsworth generous at first in listen.
