What is Arabic Morse code?

It is the ITU-standardised set of dot-dash sequences assigned to the 28 letters of the Arabic alphabet for telegraphy and radio. Each Arabic letter has its own code, distinct from the Latin set.

How are letters and words separated?

Letters within a word are separated by a single space and words are separated by three spaces. When decoding you can also use a forward slash to mark word boundaries.

Does it handle hamza and letter variants?

Yes. The bare hamza has its own code, and presentation variants such as alef with hamza, alef madda, taa marbuta and alef maqsura are mapped to the code of their base letter.

Is Arabic Morse case sensitive?

Arabic script has no upper and lower case, so the question does not apply. Each letter maps to exactly one Morse sequence regardless of its position in the word.

Is my text uploaded anywhere?

No. The conversion runs entirely in your browser using a built-in lookup table, so nothing is sent to a server.

Arabic Morse Code Encoder

Arabic Morse code assigns a unique sequence of dots and dashes to each of the 28 letters of the Arabic alphabet, following the International Telecommunication Union recommendation for non-Latin telegraphy. This free tool encodes Arabic text into Morse and decodes Morse back into Arabic, instantly and entirely in your browser.

How it works

Encoding looks up each Arabic letter in a fixed table and replaces it with its dot-dash code. For example, alef maps to .-, baa to -..., and seen to .... Letters within a word are joined with single spaces, and words are separated by three spaces so the boundaries stay readable.

Decoding reverses the table: each space-separated code is matched back to its Arabic letter, and three-space (or slash) gaps become spaces between words. Any token without a known mapping is passed through unchanged so nothing is silently dropped.

Example and notes

The word سلام (peace) contains seen, lam, alef and meem. It encodes to:

... .-.. .- --

Several presentation forms — alef with hamza, alef madda, and alef with hamza below — share alef’s code .-, while taa marbuta reuses the code for taa. The bare hamza ء has its own short code .. The whole conversion is offline, so your text never leaves the page.
