For a p-adic field with odd residue characteristic, the square map is an isomorphism on 1+mK​ by Hensel lemma. The parity of the valuation and the square class of the residue unit therefore determine the square-class group of a field. Its three nontrivial classes give the three quadratic extensions: one unramified extension and two totally ramified extensions.
