A unit is a single quantity or amount. These are agreed internationally. So the unit of length is the metre, the unit of mass is the kilogram and the unit of time is the second. These are known as SI units (standard international). The National Physical Laboratory in London has copies of these units e.g. an atomic (Caesium) clock to measure a second.

A unit is a single measure of some scale. For example, to say that a ruler is of unit length, while working in metres, just means it is one metre long.

Do you mean "UNIT", you nit? If so it is a single measure as specified by the rating scale being deployed, ie one inch, one pound etc. these are units of length and currency respectively.

You don't give any context - where did you see this word? If you saw it in a piece of software source code, then it is probably short for "unsigned integer", a data type. Otherwise I can't help.
