Default Meaning of Referential Integrity ("on parent update") Notation

When I create an ER diagram in Visio, and I have created a relationship, I
can select the "Referential Action" property under "Categories" and set it to
one of the following:

On parent update OR On parent delete
No Action
Cascade
Set NULL
Set default
Don not enforce

The notation displayed on the diagram is
u:R
d:R
if I have "No action" selected.

What does the "R" stand for?

Which version of Visio are you working with it might have some bearing on the
outcome. I tested with Visio Professional 2007 and I did not reproduce your
results.
