MorsePadAbout "Michael" in Morse code
The name Michael has 7 letters, which become 19 Morse symbols: 13 dits (short signals) and 6 dahs (long signals). Sent at a standard 20 words per minute it takes about 3.8 seconds; at a beginner pace of 10 WPM, roughly twice that. The longest letter is C (-.-.), and each letter is separated by a short pause.
It makes a personal gift: a bracelet spelling Michael needs 19 beads — 13 small round ones for dits and 6 long ones for dahs — plus 6 spacer beads between letters. The same pattern works as a minimalist tattoo, an engraving on a ring or watch, a knitted or cross-stitched design, or a hidden message on a card.
