It is the conjugate transpose of the matrix. Of course the conjugate parts only matters with complex entries. So here is a definition:

A unitary matrix is a square matrix U whose entries are complex numbers and whose inverse is equal to its conjugate transpose U*. This means that
U*U = UU* = I. Where I is the identity matrix.
