International Morse

?

Uses the usual ITU-style Latin alphabet, digits, and common punctuation. Output uses . and -, one space between letters in a word, and / between words. Decode also accepts · or Unicode dashes and | for word breaks.

CJK and emoji are not supported in encode. Decode returns uppercase A–Z for letters.

Common use cases

  • Turn a short phrase into dot and dash patterns for display or ear-training scripts.
  • Decode a pasted Morse string from a list or keyer output into readable text.
  • Check spacing: one space between letter patterns, / between words in the code.

Common mistakes to avoid

  • Expecting CJK or emoji

    This tool is Latin, digits, and selected punctuation only—other scripts must be transliterated first.

  • Morse as secret writing

    Morse is a well-known code; treat it as encoding for shape and rhythm, not confidentiality.
