Also, in the international code the space between symbols within a character is always the same, but American Morse has two different spaces. The letters "S" (), "C" (), and "R" () all consist of three dots, but the timing is different in each case. A frequently quoted, but possibly apocryphal, story from the historical period concerns the similarity of "L" and "T" in the American code. A company

There is no well-known complete set of syllabic mnemonics for English, but various mnemonics do exist for individual letters. In the Czech language, the mnemonic device
