茴 is used in words that mean
- fennel 茴香
- aniseed 茴芹
... but also cumin, dill and caraway.

But that doesn't mean the single character 茴, which is rarely used on its own, has all those meanings.

As far as I can tell, "fennel" is the basic meaning (LA, for example, defines 茴 as 參見【茴香】) and the other senses come from adding extra characters, as in 大茴香 star anise (literally, big fennel).
Diff:
- 茴 茴 [hui2] /fennel; aniseed/
+ 茴 茴 [hui2] /(bound form) fennel/
