Russian Morse code: Cyrillic reference

A received pattern needs an alphabet context

Russian Morse assigns patterns to Cyrillic letters. For example, В uses the pattern that International Latin Morse reads as W. A signal does not identify its script by itself; the receiver needs to know the agreed alphabet. This reference uses the Russian labels below and does not add Cyrillic input to the main translator.

The table covers all 33 Russian letters and follows the explicitly cited Binary Refinery implementation. Ё shares the pattern of Е, so a receiver needs spelling context to distinguish them. This table uses a separate five-mark pattern for Ъ. Other conventions can share the Ь pattern instead; agree on the convention before encoding and do not combine tables silently.

Read a short example manually

МИР contains М, И and Р: three groups shown in the reference signal below. The same marks interpreted with the Latin mapping produce MIR. That is a letter correspondence, not a translation of the Russian word. Another example, СОС, shares the ordinary spaced patterns of Latin SOS.

The Russian Amateur Radio Union documents the beacon identifiers МОЕ, МОИ, МОС, МОХ and МО5 for radio direction-finding. They form useful short lookup exercises: begin with common М and О, then compare the final character. This table helps identify the letters; it does not describe how to operate a receiver or participate in an event.

Check before sending or transcribing

Keep one boundary between Cyrillic letter groups and a larger boundary between words. Note any shared letter pattern in your transcription instead of asserting an exact spelling from marks alone. Digits use the familiar International numeral patterns.

Do not paste Cyrillic text into the main tool expecting this table to be applied. The interface language and selected Morse standard are different controls. For Latin transliteration, choose and verify the spelling yourself; the converter encodes the characters entered, not an automatic Russian transliteration.
