How morse code decoding works
Each letter and digit is replaced by its International Morse sequence. Letters are separated by spaces and words by a slash (/).
Examples
| Morse Code | Text |
|---|---|
... --- ... | SOS |
.... . .-.. .-.. --- | Hello |
-... .- -. --. .-.. .- -.. . ... .... | Bangladesh |
..--- ----- ..--- -.... | 2026 |
Character-by-character breakdown
Here is how the word DHAKA is converted, character by character. The Unicode code point identifies the character, the UTF-8 bytes show how it is stored, and the last column is the morse code result.
| Character | Code point | UTF-8 bytes | Morse Code |
|---|---|---|---|
D | U+0044 | 44 | -.. |
H | U+0048 | 48 | .... |
A | U+0041 | 41 | .- |
K | U+004B | 4B | -.- |
A | U+0041 | 41 | .- |
Common mistakes to avoid
- Mixing up encoding and encryption — Morse Code is reversible by anyone and does not protect secrets.
- Copying extra spaces or line breaks into the input, which can change the result.
- Assuming one character equals one byte — Bangla letters and emoji use several bytes in UTF-8.
- Decoding text that was encoded with a different character set (such as old ANSI/Bijoy files).
What is Morse Code?
Morse code represents letters with dots and dashes. It was used for telegraphy and is still used by radio amateurs and in emergencies (SOS = ··· ––– ···).
Common uses
- Programming, debugging and API development
- Computer science and ICT homework
- Sharing data safely between systems
- Puzzles, games and learning how computers store text
Frequently asked questions
Does it support Bangla text?
Morse code only covers Latin letters and digits, so Bangla characters are skipped.
Is my text sent anywhere?
No, everything is processed instantly in your browser.
Can I convert large text?
Yes, you can paste long documents; conversion is instant.
Is Morse Code a form of encryption?
No. It is an encoding — a reversible way of representing data. Anyone can decode it, so never use it to hide passwords or secrets.
Can I reverse the conversion?
Yes. Click the swap button to switch between encoding and decoding instantly.
