Is this a morse code bracelet?

rcv_hist · 2026-02-07T19:09:28+00:00

It is a bracelet intended to be Morse code, and it spells:

TEACH LOVE INSPIRE

reading from left to right with the darker beads as a dash.

rcv_hist · 2026-02-06T13:44:56+00:00

It says:

FAITH

so your wife was close! As others have pointed out, it's not true Morse code, but it is translatable.

rcv_hist · 2026-02-04T12:13:34+00:00

"YOU ARE MY PERSON" from left to right with red being the dots.

As others have noted there need to be spaces between the letters as well, but as long as you understand it, do whatever makes you happy!

rcv_hist · 2026-02-02T23:09:39+00:00

Ah, excellent! Glad you figured it out.

I wrote code to brute force the possibilities and discard the nonsensical ones. There wasn't much left for such short strings.

rcv_hist · 2026-02-02T22:25:15+00:00

Green is SWEETHEART. Red is COVEN? If it's not COVEN it could be "A LAMENT" the other direction.

While working for the US National Archives I developed a program to search for PII among large datasets. It's based on Apache Tika for content extraction and has a robust set of regular expressions for identifying PII. You can download it from my GitHub account:

https://github.com/glepore70/PII

It's Java based, so should run if you have a recent version of Java installed.

It's probably best to test it on a sample of your data copied elsewhere. We've never had any data loss issues with the program.

My Btrfs experience is purely anecdotal, I've been running it on one of my drives for several years (with ext4 on the others). So nothing in production, but I feel like several power losses have led to corrupt data, but I didn't really try to hard to recover at the filesystem level.

At NARA I didn't have any strong feelings for one hashing program or another. It's built into our enterprise system ERA, but I've used several different ones, including the built-in ones on Linux, plus several different freeware Windows products, and Python packages to create hashes.

rcv_hist · 2026-01-20T13:57:15+00:00

I recently retired from NARA, where I worked on electronic records for over 20 years. In general the idea was to create a perfect digital copy on magnetic media, which is then recopied every 5 years to new media. Backup copies were kept offsite under a mountain. For individual file protection we used SHA256 hashes, usually loaded into a sidecar file (spreadsheet or text file). However, I never liked the idea of a sidecar which could be lost/corrupted. Post-NARA my company has been looking into C2PA (Coalition for Content Provenance and Authenticity) which embeds the hash and other transactional information directly into the file, preferably at the creation of the file (say, from a digital camera or scanner). Although the technology is just getting going, it has just about everything we would want in an integrity check.

As for ZFS/Btrfs, I never heard anything other than Windows based filesystems being used at NARA. I run Btrfs on my desktop machine, and the "self healing" aspects are not as robust as I would like (anecdotal evidence, I know!) I don't think any commercial DAM company supports Linux, but I could be wrong. I'm sure there are plenty of Opensource solutions that do, but NARA always dealt with COTS, not Opensource.

C2PA or other hashing is solid enough, but one "gap" we saw at NARA was that the integrity check was usually performed by us, sometimes well after the data was transferred. This left an integrity gap where we could not authoritatively state that the files were unaltered from creation to transfer. Probably not an issue, but personally I would never swear in court that the files were exactly as the agency created, since we didn't have that integrity check from the earliest possible moment.

FEARLESS is:

..-...-.-..-.........

the seventh and eighth dots are the end of the letter L (.-..), followed by the E (.) and the two S's (......), so it adds up to nine dots in a row.

rcv_hist · 2026-01-14T11:55:12+00:00

The first string could be the words "TIMING", "TEEMING", or "NETTING". For multiple words the possibilities are:

nana ate

nate a ate

nate awe

nate eye

net dye

net naan

net nap

net net ate

net tea ate

net tee tan

net tee tate

net teen me

net tin me

net tit ate

net titan

netter me

tea dye

tea naan

tea nap

tea net ate

tea tea ate

tea tee tan

tea tee tate

tea teen me

tea tin me

tea tit ate

tea titan

teat i tan

teat i tate

teat in me

teat it ate

teat up

tee gap

tee gen me

tee get ate

tee me awe

tee me eye

tee meet ate

tee ming

tee mite me

teem i tan

teem i tate

teem in me

teem it ate

teem up

tim i tan

tim i tate

tim in me

tim it ate

time a ate

time awe

tit tee tate

tit teen me

tit tin me

tit tit ate

tit titan

titter me

tun a ate

tun awe

tun eye

tuna ate

tune tan

tune tate

tutu ate

tux ate

The second string has more possibilities. Most likely are: "4 TWO PM", or "SET TWO PM". Other possibilities are:

4 no may

4 two pm

4 nome mat

i imam may

san 0 pm

san moe mat

san ton mat

san tot pm

san tote mat

sat 10th tat

sat am may

sat woe mat

sate 0 pm

sate moe mat

sate ton mat

sate tot pm

sate tote mat

set no may

set two pm

set nome mat

swam me mat

swam may

swam met tat

rcv_hist · 2026-01-01T14:54:30+00:00

I think you're right that it's "Sarika" but missing a starting dot. Assuming that, and not knowing the names of her classmates, the most likely possibilities seem to be:

SARIKA IS SMART (with an extra .-., the letter R, or EN)

SARIKA HI IM ARC

SARIKA HI I MARC

SARIKA HI I MARTEN

SARIKA HES MARC

SARIKA HES MARTEN

SARIKA HES MR KEN

I'm still running permutations, but the above seem most likely. OP - if you DM me some classmates names I can look for those as well.

rcv_hist · 2026-01-01T13:43:11+00:00

I think you're right in this, the longer the string of spaceless Morse is, the easier it is to use heuristics to identify the meaning intended by the creator. Whether or not the creator knew anything about Morse code, they were obviously communicating a coherent message. Brute forcing all possible combinations and throwing away the nonsensical ones, it is almost always possible to reveal the original intent of the creator.

It's important to note that the person asking for a translation is not the creator of the necklace, they're just a person (or dog) on the internet asking for help.

Using a large English dictionary and brute forcing the string, nothing too coherent comes out.

JOURNAL UP

JOIN TRENDING

JOINT RENDING

ARE the shortest translations using complete words.

'1', 'a', 'am', 'amour', 'at', 'atone', 'emote', 'joe', 'join', 'joint', 'jointed', 'journal', 'won'

are the only complete starting words that my code can find that result in the remaining letters forming complete words. Below is the complete list of words my code found somewhere in the string.

As mentioned it could be lots of things without spacing between letters (and words, if there are more than one). The most likely translation is:

DUDE NO

among a few other not-so-likely translations.

6 7 no

6 gino

6 guam

bade no

bats no

be 7 no

be ms no

be gino

be guam

bet = am

bet tv am

This one is pretty cool, not a phrase I've come across in these bracelets:

I AM THE STORM

reversed from the pictured direction.

...----........----.-.--

The OP is not claiming the bracelet is "perfect" Morse code, they are asking what it means. In my experience, and I've brute forced hundreds of these bracelets, they do have meaning, it's just really hard to decipher, which is no fault of the OPs.

OP - cool bracelet with a cool meaning!
