Does ji have one meaning in Chinese?

No. A pinyin group can contain many different Chinese characters and words. Use the Chinese form and context, not pinyin alone, to identify the meaning.

Why does one pinyin page include multi-character words?

HSK learners search and review by pinyin. Grouping words by the first pinyin syllable keeps homophones and related search results together without exposing technical codepoint URLs.
