In International Morse code the number 0 is -----: 0 dits and 5 dahs, 19 units long (about 1140 ms at 20 WPM).

It sounds like "dah-dah-dah-dah-dah".

In MORSE HQ's Koch training, 0 is character 17 of 41.

How to remember it

Learn it by sound instead of counting dots and dashes. Say "dah-dah-dah-dah-dah" out loud, then listen to it at full speed.

Like the Koch method, hearing characters at your target speed (15-20 WPM) from day one makes it easier to speed up later.
