How to read the chart

A dot (·) is one unit of sound and a dash (−) is three. Inside a letter the gap is one unit, between letters three, and between words seven. Learn each letter as a rhythm rather than counting dots: E is a single short beep, T a single long one, and SOS is three short, three long, three short.

Letters that are not in the standard

The ITU standard includes only one accented letter, É. Codes for letters such as Ä, Ñ or Ç are national extras. They are in wide use, but some share a code (Ä, Æ and Ą are all ·−·−), so the menu lets you pick the language you mean. Characters with no code of their own are sent as the plain letter.

Printing the chart

Use the Print button: the menus and buttons are left out and the chart fits on one page. Choose another alphabet first to print the Russian, Greek, Japanese or any other chart.
