You set up a helper column that concatenates the adjacent cells. A UNIQUE
function will not help there. Or I misunderstood.

How is that in any way related to a UNIQUE function?

Note that to work correctly a UNIQUE function would have to output an array of
rows. After being entered the first time the output array size would be fixed
to the then number of unique values. If data was added to the original range,
the range the UNIQUE function occupies / outputs to would *not* be extended, so
would be pretty much useless then and would have to be re-entered, deleting the
original range first. The situation is not much different from the
filter-unique-to functionality, on the opposite, it would be even more
cumbersome.

I am aware of this 'work around'. It does not work for some use cases as below
...

1) What if I've to get unique combinations of cells in two adjacent columns and
one of the cells can contain blank values ?
2) What if I've to apply some more functions like countif etc on the resulting
unique values and display the overall result elsewhere in the document ? Ex.
may be others can add rows in one sheet and the count of unique combinations in
columns A and B is to be displayed in another sheet ?

What I am requesting is for a straight forward function something like unique()
which can take an array (can be multideminesional array i.e., more than one
column).

You can use: 
Data > More Filters > Standard Filter
Select Field name (Column x), Conditions (=), Value (Not Empty)
Select additional filter criteria if desired ...
Click 'Options'
Check 'No duplications'

With 'Copy results to' the results can be written to another range anywhere
within the workbook.
