“MIA” in Morse Code

Three letters, three dots, three dashes — MIA is perfectly balanced, one of the shortest names with equal weight. M then I then A also runs heavy-light-mixed: the whole grammar of Morse in three characters.

Letter by letter

To key it right, hold every dash three times as long as a dot. Leave a short three-unit breath between letters; the slash is the long, seven-unit pause between words. Want to hear it slower or flash it as light? Open it in the morse code translator.
