9 in Morse Code
9−−−−·
9 in International Morse code is −−−−·: 1 short and 4 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) | 9 |
Easy to confuse with: 1 (·−−−−, the same signals in reverse), 4 (····−, dots and dashes swapped).
9 in cut numbers
When both sides know numbers are expected, operators shorten 9 to −·, the same signal as the letter N. Only the runs of dashes are cut; the dots stay.
9 in American Morse code
In American (railroad) Morse code, 9 is sent as −··−, not −−−−· as in International Morse.
