Frequently Asked Questions
A single space separates the Morse code for individual letters, and a forward slash surrounded by spaces ( / ) separates words. For example, "SOS" becomes "... --- ...", and "SOS HELP" becomes "... --- ... / .... . .-.. .--.".
Yes — digits 0 through 9 and common punctuation marks (period, comma, question mark, and several others) are included alongside the full alphabet, using the standard International Morse Code reference.
Letters that appear more frequently in English, like E and T, are assigned the shortest codes (a single dot or dash), while rarer letters get longer sequences. This frequency-based design made messages faster to send by telegraph on average, since common letters cost less time to transmit.
