There is no specific unit for basicity. Generally we use pH scale to measure the basicity or acidity. it is between 1 to 14. towards 1 it is acidic and towards 14 it is basic.

as per Wikipedia definition of pH is as follows

pH is defined as the decimal logarithm of the reciprocal of the hydrogen ion activity, aH+, in a solution.[2]pH is mainly to measure acidity of compounds andpOH is for basic compounds.pOH is sometimes used as a measure of the concentration of hydroxide ions, OH−, or alkalinity.or pOH ≈ 14 − pH.
