It is actually the Greek charavrer 'MU' - but since that is basically
the english 'u' in appearance is is usually written in ASCII as u-law,
so people pronounce it 'you' instead of 'mu'.
However, technically it is pronounced 'mu-law' - written u-law, and the
other, less confusing, is a-law.

u-law is used in North America and Japan, a-law is the rest of the world.
AFAIK. Using the wrong encoding has some WEIRD results.
