Numbers · ITU International Morse Code
Morse code for 8 is ---.. — 5 signals (2 dots, 3 dashes).
The number 8 in international Morse code is ---... All ten digits use exactly 5 signals, making them easy to identify during transmission.
Number 8 is transmitted as: long press, then long press, then long press, then short tap, then short tap.
Select the correct Morse code for 8:
To transmit Number 8 (---..), use this sequence:
| Speed | Dot | Dash | Letter gap | Word gap |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 5 wpm | 240ms | 720ms | 720ms | 1680ms |
| 10 wpm | 120ms | 360ms | 360ms | 840ms |
| 20 wpm | 60ms | 180ms | 180ms | 420ms |
Repeat the pattern aloud: ---.. — until it becomes muscle memory.
The Morse code for number 8 is ---... All numbers use exactly 5 signals. Number 8 uses 2 dots and 3 dashes.
To send number 8: long press, then long press, then long press, then short tap, then short tap. Numbers always use 5 signals total.
All Morse digits use exactly 5 signals by ITU standard, making them easy to distinguish from letters (1-4 signals) during transmission.
Number 8 is ---... Lower digits have more dots at the start; higher digits have more dashes. This systematic pattern makes numbers easier to learn as a sequence.
Number 8 (---..) always uses 5 signals, while letters use 1-4. This makes it easy to tell numbers from letters during transmission.
