Question Dumb question about schematics references...

Hi,

I got this flying in my windy head without finding an answer...

In schematic drawings, Resistors are referenced by a Rxxx, Capacitors by a Cxxx, etc...
But why are Transistors (BJTs) referenced by a Q ? And Integrated Circuits by a U ?

Helllllppppp
