“HAPPY BIRTHDAY” in Morse Code
···· ·− ·−−· ·−−· −·−− / −··· ·· ·−· − ···· −·· ·− −·−−
A favourite for engraved gifts and secret cards — fourteen letters of celebration. Try transmitting it with the light channel and your phone becomes a birthday beacon. The double P in HAPPY (·−−· ·−−·) is one of the prettier rhythms in the alphabet.

H ···· A ·− P ·−−· P ·−−· Y −·−−

Reading it: a dot (·) is one unit long, a dash (−) is three. Letters are separated by a three-unit silence — written as a space — and words by seven units, written as a slash. Want to hear it slower or flash it as light? Open it in the morse code translator.
