Questions
How do you write a space in Morse code?
Put a space between letters and a slash (/) between words. When Morse is sent as sound or light, letters are separated by a pause as long as three dots and words by a pause as long as seven.
What is SOS in Morse code?
... --- ... — three dots, three dashes, three dots, sent as one signal without the usual gaps between letters. It was chosen because it is easy to send and recognise, not because the letters stand for anything.
Can I paste Morse code written with other symbols?
Yes. The translator reads ., · and • as dots and -, − and _ as dashes, and splits words on a slash, a vertical bar or a long gap.
