Definition
拾一 is the financial capital form of 十一 (eleven), used on checks, invoices, and legal documents to prevent tampering. The individual characters 拾 and 一 are capital versions of 十 and 一, respectively — 拾 itself also means "to pick up" in general usage, but here it functions purely as a numeral in the financial notation system.
