I try to follow Kashrut(Kosher Dietary Laws), and I know the "K" marked on a box means that it's kosher, but does the "U" mean it isn't?

Oh vey! the answers you give here....
The letter "K" simply means "Kosher." Kosher, in Hebrew, means fit or proper, and is generally used to describe foods that are prepared in accordance with special Jewish dietary laws. These laws are stringent and almost incomprehensible to those not versed in them.
The small "u" in a circle or ("OU") stands for the Union of Orthodox Jewish Congregations and shows that the food underwent rabbinical supervision in its preparation. (An "OUD" marking shows that the package contains dairy products, while an "OUM" indicates the presence of meat.)

Un - kosher.
We're probably saying that we don't really know, as we are not Jewish. You'd probably do better asking your rabbi. However, the answer that oklatom gave, sounds authentic.

I think it's similar to F-U.
