one by one
1️⃣ 一一 = one + one repeated; doubling 一 (one) gives one by one
Chinese often doubles a character to stress repetition or sequence. Here 一 (one) said twice means handling things one at a time, one after another.
一 — single horizontal stroke
一 is one of the simplest pictographs in Chinese, depicting a single horizontal line to represent the number one. It has retained essentially the same form since oracle bone script over 3,000 years ago. By extension it also means 'first,' 'whole,' or 'same.'
