In Unicode the capital U is codepoint U+0055 and the lowercase u is U+0075.
In chemistry, U is the symbol for uranium.
1 U (= 44 mm or 1.75 inch) is a standard unit of height of a piece of equipment or computer chassis in a 19-inch rack, also called a rack unit (RU) or a pizza box.
In electrical engineering, U is the symbol for voltage.
In mathematics, the unitary group of degree n, denoted U(n), is the group of n�n unitary matrices, with the group operation that of matrix multiplication.
1 u = 1/NA gram = 1/(1000 NA) kg (where NA is Avogadro's number)
The gravitational potential energy Ug of an object is equal to the work done by a constant gravitational force F = mg on the object to move it from given position to some reference position by a distance h between them, and is equal to
(According to Wikipedia)
Wikipedia's correct here.
Note though that you don't have to adhere to any rules or anything though. You can call whatever you want U. I personally think of it most often as either potential energy or internal energy. But you can give anything you want any letter you want.
There are the odd few standards that you really shouldn't change, such as 'h' for Planck's constant, 'c' for the speed of light, etc.
