It just appeared in a pot on my terrace about 4 years ago.

I've just given it a brutal pruning and repotted it with a view to it becomming my first boasai.

Of the elm variety?
I would guess based on the images here elm, could be chinese elm.

It looks just like several I have dug up recently, which are elm of some kind but definitely not Chinese. one has wings in the bark, so either winged or cork bark. There is probably a Latin name for them.

Do you live in the Northeast? if so I think it may be a birch if it just grew spontaneously in a pot.

I am sorry, I have just saw a Carpinus betulus / European hornbeam online and its leaves look exactly like yours.
I don't remember seeing hornbeams around here, so based on the leaves I guessed (wrongly) some sort of Elm.
Take a look:
