What 맥 means
Context decides which sense 맥 has.
맥 can mean pulse or strength, extend to continuity, or name a mineral vein or a mountain range; feng shui uses it for a flow.
The 1527 Hunmong Jahoe, a primer teaching Chinese characters through Korean readings and explanations, records 맥 as a reading of 脈. This dates that attestation, not the Hangul syllable’s origin.
Neutral Korean vocabulary.
A lone 맥 does not automatically mean “pulse.”

Questions people ask
1Why does 맥 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.
