Explicit quadratic Hilbert symbols over the p-adic numbers ($(p^{\alpha }u,p^{\beta }v{)}_p$)

For odd $p$ and p-adic units $u,v$, the quadratic Hilbert symbol isThe Legendre symbols record the two unit square classes. For $p=2$, put $ϵ(u)=(u-1)/2\mathrm{mod}2$ and $\omega (u)=(u^2-1)/8\mathrm{mod}2$. ThenThe basis $-1,2,5$ of the square-class group of the 2-adic numbers gives this formula: its only negative basis pairings are $(-1,-1{)}_2$ and $(2,5{)}_2=(5,2{)}_2$. The first is obstructed by sums of squares modulo four, the second by $x^2-2y^2$ modulo eight; the remaining pairings have explicit field norm representatives.
