Welcome in Morse Code
.-- . .-.. -.-. --- -- .
"Welcome" is the warm word of arrival — on a doormat, a banner, or a greeting to a newcomer. In Morse it reads .-- . .-.. -.-. --- -- . . As a single seven-letter word it makes a balanced, mixed pattern that's pleasant to send and reads as a deliberate design when engraved on a sign or a housewarming gift.

How to Send “Welcome” in Morse Code
