0 in Morse Code
0−−−−−
0 in International Morse code is −−−−−: 0 short and 5 long. Every number in Morse code is five signals long. In cut numbers, the short form operators use when numbers are expected, runs of dashes are cut to one.
What −−−−− means in every alphabet
The same signal stands for different letters in different national codes. This is everything it means in the alphabets this site supports.
| International Morse (ITU) | 0 |
Easy to confuse with: 5 (·····, dots and dashes swapped).
0 in cut numbers
When both sides know numbers are expected, operators shorten 0 to −, the same signal as the letter T. Only the runs of dashes are cut; the dots stay.
0 in American Morse code
In American (railroad) Morse code, 0 is sent as ⸻, not −−−−− as in International Morse.
