"Diminished unison" is a non-standard and widely unaccepted term for the musical interval known as the augmented unison. Established main-stream music theorists do not consider the diminished unison as a legitimate interval[1][2][3] because the interval is made larger rather than smaller; it is instead called an augmented unison: C to C♭ is the same as C♭ to C.[2]
