What you see below, and can magnify, is the Chinese character for: used after an attributive adjunct, i.e. an adjective, or a word, phrase, or clause, performing the function of an adjective:
1. when the attributive adjunct is used to qualify or modify the headword;
2. when between the attributive adjunct and the headword there is a relationship of belonging;
3. when the attributive adjunct is a person and the headword is a noun for a job or a function, to indicate that the person holds that role;
4. when the attributive adjunct is a person and the headword is preceded by a verb, to indicate that the person is the receiver of the action; used without headword:

2. stands for a generic person or thing;
