Well, it may be. But, it's kinda hard to tell with just one simple character like that.

But, as it looks, it may be the symbol for "fu."

My personal opinion is no.

It could have been the katakana symbol for "fu" only if the curve at the left end was absent. The curve SHOULD NOT BE THERE if it is "fu." The rule in writing katakana is not to add such curves.
