The U is generally a vowel in most circumstances, but there are few circumstances when U behaves like a consonant. Firstly, when a word begins with a long U, it also makes a Y sound and sounds like "you" like use, unit, uniform, unicorn, universe, unicycle, utensil, etc. However, the U isn't really a consonant in this case, but it's a combination of both vowel and consonant sound. Secondly, the Q usually needs to be followed by a U in English, which is a QU combination and Q can't be by itself. The U in the QU combination is a consonant. When there are words that the Q isn't followed by a U like Qatar, Qingdao, etc., then it's probably a foreign language word, not an English word.
