FAQ
How are words separated in Morse code?
In standard Morse code notation, letters within a word are separated by a single space, and words are separated by / (or a longer pause in audio).
Is Morse code case-sensitive?
No. Morse code has no case distinction — all letters are uppercase. The encoder converts your input to uppercase before encoding.
What does ? mean in the output?
A ? in the output means the character or code has no Morse equivalent (e.g., non-Latin characters or unknown codes).
What is SOS in Morse code?
SOS is ... --- ... — three dots, three dashes, three dots. It is the international distress signal, chosen because it is easy to transmit and recognize.
