As far as I know 'a unique' is correct because in that case 'u' is not a vowel but a semi-consonant (or semi-vowel) like in university, unify, uniform, utopia and many with the sound -/ju/ at the beggining of the word.

Yes, that's right. A long "u" sound requires "a" rather than "an"; but the opposite is true of a short "u."

Hi all! I think you can`t use any of these articles if you use this word without a noun. If you use it with a noun,you must use it with an,because "u" is a wovel! Any way,I think so,and this is my opinion!

hi.
The answer is -A UNIQUE!
because 'a' or 'an' are used according to the sound of the first letter.The sound of "unique " "u" is 'YU'..which is a consonant that's why we use "a" with unique.

orojoV - have you "got this" now?
the letter u is classsified as a vowel, obviously, but the use of an /a is dictated by the sound of the word, and not just how it looks onthe page.
In this case we would say A unique.
