In International Morse Code, the open parenthesis (() is written as -.--., made up of 2 dots and 3 dashs. Punctuation codes run five to six signals long — longer than most letters — since they're used far less often in typical text.

The open parenthesis is typically used when opening a parenthetical aside.
