What 광 means
Sometimes; the whole word decides. 광선 means light ray; 광복, restored sovereignty; 광범위, broad scope; 광기, madness.
Hanja are Chinese characters used in Korean words. Here, 光 means light, 廣 broad, and 狂 madness. The same Hangul syllable can represent each root.
Hangul was developed in 1443 and promulgated in 1446 to make Korean easier to write than the older Chinese-character system, which limited literacy among non-elites. Blocks combine jamo, Korean letters.
Neutral Korean writing; alone, 광 usually needs the full word for its meaning.
Do not translate isolated 광 as “light.”

1Why does 광 show as a box on some devices?
Because that device's fonts have no glyph for it. The character is still correct and still copies correctly — the box is a missing glyph, not a broken character.
