Not unique if you add standard transcription systems. The Library of
Congress standard is to capitalize also IA, IU (plus diacritics), TS etc.
when being the first letter of Russian names. They are also taken to be
units when abbreviating a name.:

Author: Got´e, IU. V. (IUrii Vladimirovich), 1873-1943.
