Printable Morse Code Chart

How to use this chart

1. Print or save it

   Use the buttons above. The print layout fits one page; the PNG is high-resolution for phones and documents.

2. Learn by sound, not by sight

   The chart is a reference, not a learning method. Click any letter to open its page and hear the rhythm — that is what sticks.

3. Start with the short codes

   E, T, I, M, A, N, S, O cover a large share of English and are only one to three symbols long. Add the rest in groups.

How the chart is organised

Morse assigned the shortest codes to the most frequent letters: E (·) and T (−) are single symbols, while rare letters such as Q, J and Z need four. Numbers follow a ladder — 1 to 5 begin with that many dits and fill up with dahs, 6 to 9 begin with dahs and fill up with dits, and 0 is five dahs. Punctuation is five or six symbols long and mostly used in formal messages.

Many letters are mirror images of each other (A ·− and N −·, D −·· and U ··−, G −−· and W ·−−). Knowing the pairs helps you avoid the most common beginner mistakes. The lookup pages list the look-alikes for every character.
