3 in Morse Code
3···−−
3 in International Morse code is ···−−: 3 short and 2 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) | 3 |
Easy to confuse with: 7 (−−···, the same signals in reverse), 8 (−−−··, dots and dashes swapped).
3 in cut numbers
When both sides know numbers are expected, operators shorten 3 to ···−, the same signal as the letter V. Only the runs of dashes are cut; the dots stay.
3 in American Morse code
In American (railroad) Morse code, 3 is sent as ···−·, not ···−− as in International Morse.
