Do you not have access to the conlanglinks page? It has a link to a very handy image of the standard IPA chart with the X-SAMPA symbols overlaid in blue. Unrounded /u/ is /M/. Unrounded /o/ is /7/. The other back unrounded vowels are /V/ (unrounded /O/) and /A/ (unrounded Q). /U/ is central-back and closer-mid; it's not part of a pair on the chart, so I don't know if it's supposed to be rounded or not, but it's usually given as the vowel in English "put", which for me is rounded. -Mark
