In the word "unit," even though it starts with the letter "u," the sound it produces is /jʊnɪt/, which begins with the consonant sound "yuh." Therefore, we use "a" before "unit."

So, in the sentence "A unit means a measurement," we are using "a" to introduce the general idea of a unit without specifying a particular unit. It signifies that we are referring to any unit as a measurement, rather than a specific or known unit.
