In NetHack, the letter U serves the following purposes:

  • It is also used as a direction key if numpad movement is off:
    • Press u to move north-east.
    • Press shift + u to move far north-east.
  • If numpad movement is on:
  • In the source code, the global variable named u, of type struct you, contains player-specific data.[1][2]

Historical uses

In Hack 1.21, a variant of Jay Fenlason's Hack, the unox used the u glyph, while the ugod used the U glyph; in the variant Hack for PDP-11, the U glyph is instead given to the umber hulk, while the ugod replaced the unox as u. In Hack 1.0, the u glyph is given to the unicorn.
