C-u is special. C-u is not bound to a command. C-u is the prefix
argument. It's a possibility to give an extra input to a command.
E.g. advance one line with 'C-n' and advance 10 lines with 'C-u 10 C-n'.

'The "global" keymap is the most important keymap because it is always
in effect.' (49.3.1 Keymaps)
Possibly 'C-h b' helps you to find some key-bindings.
