How to create single list from two ranges in google sheets?

In google sheet I have 2 ranges of variable length with some data,i.e.

• column A: aa, ab, ac; and

• column B: ba, bb, bc.

I would like to combine them in one long list in column C with a some formula:

• column C: aa, ab, ac, ba, bb, bc.

I thought that UNIQUE function could work if it took 2 ranges- but it does not or ARRAYFORMULA but does not look like this is a sensible idea.

So looking for solution or direction.

Thank you!

If anyone is interested, here is my solution:

To combine two ranges into a single column, join them with curly braces with a semi-colon in-between. Example:

={(A3:A7);(B3:B7)} 

In my specific situation I used the following:

=UNIQUE({(A3:A7); (B3:B7)}) 

Which successfully outputs only the unique values from the joined range.

Thanks!
