Identify this character!

My boyfriend uses this character as part of the logo on his website and just now realized that he was mistaken about its meaning. So now the question is, what the heck does it mean?

TIA!

ETA: Alternately, could anyone direct me to some sort of database where I could look up kanji by the radicals in it, or just draw it on the screen and have it be looked up? I know there's a program for the DS that does something similar...

    Wikipedia is kind of good for this stuff... looks like this radical, but beyond that I have no idea.

    Here you go - it's 孚, and apparently means trust.

    Watch out for characters that look similar. For example, the kanji for king looks almost the same as the kanji for ball. Ball just has an extra stroke.
