In characters that deal with the null trigger, I often see the type, movetype and physics set to U. (Example Given).

Code: 
[Statedef 5151]
type = U
movetype = U
physics = U
hitdefpersist = 1
movehitpersist = 1

What does that mean and why specifically these settings in so many characters?

U means "unchanged" from the previous state, meaning if the previous state type was S, this state will continue being S, and so on.

The U parameter is useful when you put the enemy in a custom state, because in some instances the enemy could be in different statetypes/physics, and you don't want to change to the wrong type during the custom state (as in enemies walking on the air)
