0 in Morse Code

The number 0 in Morse code is ----- — dash-dash-dash-dash-dash.

In International Morse Code, the digit 0 is written as -----, made up of 0 dots and 5 dashs. Every Morse numeral is exactly five signals long, which makes numbers easy to tell apart from letters once you know the pattern.

Digits follow a predictable rule: 0 is the mirror image of 5 — five dashes and no dots, the longest pattern in the numeral set. That symmetry is what makes numbers one of the fastest parts of Morse code to memorize.
