Case contract

Check character of an 18-character resident identity number: seventeen ASCII digits followed by a digit or X (lowercase x accepted). Weights are 2^(17-i) mod 11 for 0-based i; the check character is "10X98765432"[sum % 11]. Return [check character, whether the 18th character matches case-insensitively].
