What 핵 means
Context decides whether 핵 means a center, nucleus, or nuclear weapon.
Hangul groups letters into a syllable block: ㅎ ㅐ ㄱ, which Korean input methods assemble. The Korean alphabet was promulgated in 1446 to write Korean sounds. The older Hanja (Chinese character used in Korean), 核, is glossed “pit/kernel”; that concrete sense connects to abstract “core” and scientific meanings.
Neutral as “core” in ordinary or technical wording; political or military talk can make the nuclear-weapons sense urgent.
In military talk, do not assume bare 핵 means “core.”

1Why does 핵 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.
