In formal English, unique is an absolute adjective, which means it technically shouldn't be used with 'very' or 'more'. You are either unique or you are not.

⚠️

자주 하는 실수

Learners often say 'most unique' or 'very unique', but since unique means 'the only one', these modifiers are technically redundant in strict grammar.
