Thanks, Mohanmmed.

In Chinese Pinyin, there are not any words starting with i, u, or v. :-(

Regarding U, the pronunciation is /u:/ in English, but it has to use together with w, like wu.

There are several alternatives.

1. use some words having the pronunciation /u:/, like Wu Zhen[1], a very beautiful town close to Shanghai.

2. use some words starting with U, but not really Chinese, like Urumqi, Ulanhot, which are city names in China.

I admit this doesn't surprise me.

Yup, if there isn't anything that naturally fits with the establish
criteria we'd just have a number of items that are 'exceptional' and get
TC endorsement for similar to https://review.openstack.org/#/c/611511/
