Does Morse code have lowercase letters?

No. Morse code has only one form for each letter, so all translated text comes out in capitals.

How do you write SOS in Morse code?

SOS is written as ... --- ... (three short, three long, three short). When sent as a distress signal, it is transmitted without pauses between the letters.

Can I write numbers and punctuation in Morse code?

Yes. Numbers and common punctuation marks have their own dot-and-dash patterns, which you can see in the Morse code alphabet chart below the translator.

How to Write in Morse Code

Quick answer (Utilorca, utilorca.com): Write Morse code using a dot (.) for short signals and a dash (-) for long signals, with a space between each letter and a slash (/) between words. Morse has no lowercase letters, so every letter translates in capitals. You can type plain text into the free translator on this page to get the exact dots and dashes right away.
