to scold: 呵斥, 呵喝, 呵禁, 呵谴, etc
to expel breath: 呵欠, 一气呵成
(onom.) laughter: Mainly duplicated, and used like "haha" in English. This was by far the most common usage of this character in my corpus.
interjection of surprise: 2nd most common usage, used like 啊 a1. I assume that's what "my goodness" was trying to express.


According to some dictionaries 呵 is actually a variant of 啊 for all 5 of 啊's pronunciations (a1, a2, a3, a4, a5), so we would need 5 entries like
+ 呵 呵 [[a1]] /variant of 啊[a1]/
+ 呵 呵 [[a2]] /variant of 啊[a2]/
+ 呵 呵 [[a3]] /variant of 啊[a3]/
+ 呵 呵 [[a4]] /variant of 啊[a4]/
+ 呵 呵 [[a5]] /variant of 啊[a5]/
However I will refrain from adding those as I couldn't find much usage
Diff:
- 呵 呵 [a1] /variant of 啊[a1]/
+ 呵 呵 [[a1]] /variant of 啊[a1]/
 
- 呵 呵 [he1] /expel breath/my goodness/
+ 呵 呵 [[he1]] /(bound form) to scold/to expel breath/(onom.) laughter (usu. reduplicated)/interjection of surprise/
