“MICHAEL” in Morse Code
−− ·· −·−· ···· ·− · ·−··
Nineteen elements — among the longest common first names in code, with more than twice as many dots as dashes. The C-H-A middle run (−·−· ···· ·−) is a genuine tongue-twister on a straight key.
Letter by letter
M −− I ·· C −·−· H ···· A ·− E · L ·−··
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.
