How to Write “I Love You” in Morse Code

“I love you” in Morse code

In International Morse code, “I LOVE YOU” is: I = · · , L = · − · · , O = − − − , V = · · · − , E = · , Y = − · − − , O = − − − , U = · · − . Written together with “/” between words: “· · / · − · · − − − · · · − · / − · − − − − − · · −”. Each letter is separated by a space and each word by a slash.

How to send it

You can tap it (a short tap for a dot, a longer tap for a dash), flash it with a torch, or blink it. Keep the timing consistent: a dash is about three times the length of a dot, with short gaps between symbols and longer gaps between letters. A translator helps you learn the rhythm.
