The first letter of the word for penguin in English is P, so why is Tencent’s QQ called QQ? Not called PP?

QQ is a penguin, using pictographic elements

ICQ was the first instant messaging software developed in 1996 by three young people from Israel; I SEEK YOU means “I’m looking for you”. It was sold to AOL at an exorbitant price back then. OICQ, developed by Tencent in 1999, imitated the functions of ICQ; its name means “opening I seek you”. Later, AOL sued Tencent for infringement and demanded that the name be changed. To avoid trouble, Ma Huateng changed it to QQ... By the way, my QQ account is a 7-digit number that I registered in 1999 :)
