Something we'd like to note whilst teaching the use of 'a' and 'an':
We commonly see the use of these determiners as being confined by a vowel rule. However we should note that the vowel rule applies to vowel sounds that begin a word and not vowel alphabets.
Thus it should be a unique in this case as unique begins with the /j/ consonant sound.
Similarly with an heiress or an hour, where the h is silent and the nouns begin with vowel sounds.
Hope this was useful(:
