Radical 213 meaning "turtle"/龜/亀 is one of only two of the 214 Kangxi radicals that are composed of 16 strokes.
In the Kangxi Dictionary there are only 24 characters (out of 40,000) to be found under this radical.
In Taoist cosmology, 龜 (Polyhedron) is the nature component of the Ba gua diagram 坎 Kǎn.
