Morse Code Alphabet Chart for Letters A to Z

The Morse code alphabet maps every English letter from A to Z to a short pattern of dots and dashes. This page is designed as a quick lookup table: scan the chart, copy the code, or click any letter to open its detail guide.

Use the full chart when you need a quick answer, then use the morse code translator when you want to convert a complete word, phrase, callsign, or message.

Complete Morse Code Alphabet Chart A-Z

Scan the grid below to see every letter, its Morse code, and its spoken rhythm. Click a letter or code to open the dedicated guide, or click the pronunciation row to hear that letter as Morse audio.

Use this chart for fast lookup and listening practice. If you need examples, spacing notes, or common mistakes for a specific character, open that letter's guide from the card grid.

Quick Answer: How to Read the Chart

A dot is written as . and a dash is written as -. A dot is short; a dash is longer. When writing Morse online, keep the dots and dashes of one letter together. Put one space between letters and a slash between words.

Examples:

A = .-
B = -...
SOS = ... --- ...
HELLO = .... . .-.. .-.. ---

How to Use This Morse Code Alphabet

1. Find the letter you need in the chart.
2. Copy the dot-dash pattern next to it.
3. Add one space before the next letter.
4. Add / between words when writing a phrase.
5. Use the Morse Code Translator to verify longer messages.

Common Mistakes When Using a Morse Code Chart

Do not remove spaces between letters. Without spacing, a decoder cannot reliably tell where one letter ends and the next begins.

Do not confuse similar patterns. For example, A is .- while N is -.; D is -.. while G is --.; B is -... while V is ...-.

Do not learn only by sight if your goal is listening. A morse chart is useful for lookup, but audio practice helps you recognize letters faster.

Do not assume every symbol has a standard code. Emojis, many non-Latin letters, and rare symbols may need transliteration or may not translate cleanly.

Next Step: Translate a Word

After you find a letter in the alphabet, try translating a full word. The Morse Code Translator can convert English to Morse code, decode Morse code back to text, play audio, and help you confirm whether your spacing is correct.

FAQ

What is the morse code alphabet?

The morse code alphabet is a standardized mapping of letters to dot-and-dash sequences. In International Morse Code, A-Z each has a unique code.

Can I click each letter for more detail?

Yes. Each letter in the A-Z table links to its own detail page, such as A in Morse Code, B in Morse Code, and C in Morse Code.

What is A in Morse code?

A in Morse code is .-. It is spoken as dit-dah.

What is Z in Morse code?

Z in Morse code is --... It is spoken as dah-dah-dit-dit.

How do you separate words in Morse code?

When writing Morse online, use a slash between words. For example, MORSE CODE becomes -- --- .-. ... . / -.-. --- -.. ..

Does Morse code include numbers?

Yes. Numbers 0-9 have their own patterns, such as ----- for 0 and .---- for 1.

Conclusion

The morse code alphabet is the foundation for reading and writing Morse. Use the clickable A-Z chart for quick lookup, open a letter guide when you need more detail, and use the Morse Code Translator whenever you want to verify or decode a complete message.
