Thanks, there is no entry for 動 for that hanzi, but there are a few entries for 动 for other characters.  So this will be clarified for me, when i find a hanzi with another character between brackets    :-)

in upper levels HSK 7, 8, 9 the character 之 is presented like that : 5339 之（代） 5340 之（助）!

I do not see what is the link between 之 and the other characters between brackets

Possibly there is a distinction between a 代名詞 (pronoun) vs. 助詞 (particle). The 3rd person pronoun usage of 之 and ordinary relational connector 之 might be sufficiently different to be considered separate.

There might be a separate entry for 之 (動) for 動詞: the verb 'to go', also a meaning of 之.
