"茅居一" is the (simplified/traditional) chinese written form of "juyi mao".
the pronunciation of "juyi mao" in pinyin would be:
jū (居): sounds like "joo" with a steady high tone, as in jū.
yī (一): sounds like "ee" (long "e" sound) with a high tone.
máo (茅): sounds like "mao" (rhymes with how) with a rising tone.
so it would sound like: "joo-yee mao", with "mao" having a slight upward inflection on the second syllable.
