Pretty sure BabyDuck is right.

However here's a question...

Is there a way to see the direction of a curve?

Huh. When I draw a curve and show CVs I do see the beginning but it's not a U, more of a square.

However if it's closed I have no idea what direction it's going.

if you zoom in, you'll see the very first thing is a square like you said, THEN it's the U I was talking about and then the CVs...
