It's because it's a typo, and I'm guessing the title was meant to be "an UNusually...."

And the "a vs an" rule is more based on the sound that the next word starts with, rather than just the actual letter.

So for "usually", it's a "You-" sound

But for "unusually" it's an "Uh-" sound

That makes so much more sense, thanks!
