What does the 'U' stand for in RDU airport?

[Edit]

Answer

RDU is the code for Raleigh-Durham International Airport

The codes were an abbreviation.  In this case, it is the first and second letter in the airport's name.  The codes can be confusing as some airports changed their names but retained their code.
