NxN is countable (there is an injective function from NxN to N, in fact f(m,n) = 2^m 3^n works). There is a clear injective function from Q to NxN making Q countable. However there is no bijection between UX and NxN (not even an injective function). You aren't gonna get any further without AC. Try it if you don't believe me.
