How to get index of unique values in an array

Question

I'm looking to get the indexes of unique values within an array. I've found several solutions to removing duplicate values of an array, for instance here:

How to get unique values in an array

but am having trouble finding how to get back the indexes of those unique values vs. the values themselves.

Thank you!
