“ROGER” in Morse Code
·−· −−− −−· · ·−·
‘Roger’ came to mean ‘received’ because R stood for received in an older radio spelling alphabet, long before NATO swapped in ‘Romeo.’ Fittingly, an R (dot-dash-dot) tops and tails the word.
Letter by letter

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.
