I guess because the middle U is pronounced with a "yu" sound rather than a "uh" or "oo."

No. Sometimes the "j" consonant is before "ʊ" vowel. Examples: university /jʊ:nɪ'vɜ:sɪtɪ/, uniform /'jʊ:nɪfɔ:m/, useful /'jʊ:sfʊl/. Why? I don't know!

What is the "j" doing in that pronunciation? Is in standing for something funny?
