It's a case where you don't need to sort. You could use:
./unique -v output.lst < input.lst
or e.g.:
tr 'A-Z' 'a-z' < input.lst | ./unique -v output.lst
Testing this on JtR's bundled password.lst:
$ tr 'A-Z' 'a-z' < password.lst | ./unique output.lst
Total lines read 3559 Unique lines written 3422
If you're interested in sizes in bytes as well, use "ls -l" or "wc -c"
on the two files.
For tiny wordlists like password.lst, "sort -u" is more convenient in
that it can output to a pipe, so you can do:
$ tr 'A-Z' 'a-z' < password.lst | sort -u | wc -l
3422
But for large wordlists "sort" may be slower, even with the "-S" and
"--parallel" options.
