The bidi class of HANUNOO VOWEL SIGN U is Nonspacing Mark (Weak). It belongs to the non-spacing marks, which take on the directionality of the characters to which they attach..

The Nonspacing Mark (NSM) bidi class is assigned to diacritical marks that do not occupy their own space but modify the preceding base character. NSMs are neutral in directionality but inherit the directionality of the base character they are attached to.

This character belongs to the Hanunoo block. The Hanunoo block contains characters used in the Hanunoo script, which is another script used by the Mangyan people in the Philippines. Like the Buhid and Tagalog scripts, Hanunoo is an abugida, where each consonant carries an inherent vowel sound that can be modified with diacritics. This block includes characters for consonants, vowels, and a few punctuation marks. The Hanunoo script is still in use today among the Mangyan people, particularly in traditional contexts such as poetry and personal communication..
