## Description```I wonder what this really is... enc ''.join([chr((ord(flag[i]) << 8) + ord(flag[i + 1])) for i in range(0, len(flag), 2)])```
## Solution
You could simply use [cyberchef]() on the `magic` setting, and get the flag `picoCTF{16_bits_inst34d_of_8_e141a0f7}`.
Or use this:```pydecode = '灩捯䍔䙻ㄶ形楴獟楮獴㌴摟潦弸彥ㄴㅡて㝽'print(decode.encode('utf-16-be'))```
