maybe u mean "ud." , usted, which is a polite form for you (singular). in spain this polite form is used with people with whom u are not acquainted and or if u want to show respect, but in many latin american countries this form is used most of the time also between friends, leaving the informal "tu" (which also means you-singular) for relatives. the plural form is "ustedes" - "uds."

Originally, it meant Vuestra Merced (your grace) and has now come to be usted. In older texts, you see the Vd. In most texts, though, you see Ud. It is the formal form of you, as you probably know.

Vd stands for usted, a polite way of addressing you.

No body really knows how she qualified to be Secretary of State. Obama seemed to think it's some White House party going on. Bring in an ex-President wife. Where is Monica secretly heading the CIA

Means Usted (You) but in Spanish you can use you (tu) or you (usted). Vd. or Usted means respect, and we used with our boss, parents or people that we respect. (Adults)

If your talking to someone (Formal) you would use Usted (Ud) and if it is (Informal) you would use (Tu) no abbreviation. Just an example: You would say to someone you dont know well who asks how your doing (Como estan?) You would reply (bien, Usted?) if you know then say Bien, Y tu?

It should be Ud. "Usted" (You)
