Equivalant Exception for DUP_VAL_ON_INDEX for SQL Server

Hello,
We are in the process of migrating the Oracle database to SQL Server. We need the help on the Exception Handling in SQL Server.
The existing Oracle stored procedure is using the Exception DUP_VAL_ON_INDEX, which raises when the duplicate values gets inserted in the Indexed column. (typcially used with INSERT statement)
We need the equivalant statement for the exception mentioned above.
I request you to elp us out in this case.
Thanking in advance.
Duplicates for a unique index insert return the error number
is 2601. The error message depends on the object name but
it's:
Cannot insert duplicate key row in object '%.*ls' with
unique index '%.*ls'.
