capitalization
Capitalization refers to the combined value of all outstanding shares of a company, often used to assess its total market value. It can also refer to the use of capital letters at the beginning of sentences and proper nouns, or the sum of a company's long-term debt, stock, and retained earnings used in accounting.

Capitalization
Capitalization is writing a word with its first letter as a capital letter and the remaining letters in lower case. This of course only applies to those writing systems which have a case distinction. The term is also used for the choice of case in text. Conventional writing systems for different languages have different conventions for capitalization. The systematic use of capitalized and uncapitalized words in running text is called "mixed case". Conventions for the capitalization of titles and other classes of words vary between languages, and to a lesser extent between different style guides. In some written languages, it is not obvious what is meant by the "first letter": for example, the South-Slavic digraph 'lj' is considered as a single character for collation purposes and can be represented by a single Unicode character, but at the start of a word it is written 'Lj': only the L is capitalised. In contrast, in Dutch, the digraph 'ij' is fully capitalized in initial position, for instance in the name of the city of IJmuiden.
