🔎 Solution​

Given the provided string, we can recognize that it is written in hexadecimal format (evident from the 0x prefix before each value).

In character encoding, ASCII characters can be represented in multiple formats such as decimal, hexadecimal, or binary. A complete reference can be found on ASCII code tables online.

Therefore, in this challenge, the task is simply to convert the given hexadecimal values into their corresponding ASCII characters. Using an online converter tool makes this process straightforward, ultimately revealing the flag.
