2 in Morse Code — Two (· · — — —)

The number 2 in Morse code is ..--- — · · — — —. Unlike letters, which range from one to four signals, every number in Morse code uses exactly five signals. This makes numbers easy to identify once you know the pattern.

How to Translate 2 to Morse Code

To translate the number 2 to Morse code, write ..---. When sending by sound, tap a short beep then a short beep then a long beep then a long beep then a long beep. All five signals must be sent with correct timing — a dot lasts one unit, a dash lasts three units, and the gap between signals is one unit.

The Number Pattern in Morse Code

Numbers in Morse code follow a logical pattern. From 1 to 5, each number starts with dots equal to its value, then dashes fill the rest to make five signals. From 6 to 9, the pattern reverses — dashes equal to how far from 10, then dots. Zero breaks the pattern with five dashes.

• 1 = · – – – –
• 2 = · · – – –
• 3 = · · · – –
• 4 = · · · · –
• 5 = · · · · ·
• 6 = – · · · ·
• 7 = – – · · ·
• 8 = – – – · ·
• 9 = – – – – ·
• 0 = – – – – –

Did you know? Numbers follow a clear pattern — the count of leading dots matches the digit for 1 through 5.

How to Send 2 in Morse Code

Tap short then short then long then long then long — ..--- (· · — — —). Count all five signals. Numbers always use exactly five — send four and you transmit a letter instead.

The Pattern for All Numbers

• 1–5: dot count equals the digit, then dashes fill to five
• 6–9: dash count equals ten minus the digit, then dots fill to five
• 0: five dashes
