In Oxford American Dictionary
eunuch is pronounced as "yoo-nuk" (not all symbols reproduced)
unit is "yoo-nit"
unique is "yoo-neek"
In Webster English Language Dictionary
eunuch is "'yunek"
unit is "'yunet"
unique is "yu'nek,yu'nik"
You can notice, that unix , more similar to unit or unique will be
pronounced differently(?).
interesting. I tend to use a more british english style,
but I
pronounce the terms like in OAD.
