Weird Programming Glitch

Question

Yesterday, when I was programming, my computer suddenly crashed. When I rebooted, I saw the message flicker before me:

HAHAHALMAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO = ሁ၁ሁ၁ሁ၁ጁፁ၁Ꮪ

Then it flickered off. Then appeared two more messages.

(It is recommended to copy paste them. I have tested this and copy pasting does not lose any data.)

Can you help me decipher them?

Answer 1

You've just been rickrolled.

[Intro]
Desert you
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Hurt you

[Verse 1]
We're no strangers to love
You know the rules and so do I (Do I)
A full commitment's what I'm thinking of
You wouldn't get this from any other guy

[Pre-Chorus]
I just wanna tell you how I'm feeling
Gotta make you understand

[Chorus]
Never gonna give you up
Never gonna let you down
Never gonna run around and desert you
Never gonna make you cry
Never gonna say goodbye
Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you

[Verse 2]
We've known each other for so long
Your heart's been aching, but you're too shy to say it (To say it)
Inside, we both know what's been going on (Going on)
We know the game, and we're gonna play it

[Pre-Chorus]
And if you ask me how I'm feeling
Don't tell me you're too blind to see

[Chorus]
Never gonna give you up
Never gonna let you down
Never gonna run around and desert you
Never gonna make you cry
Never gonna say goodbye
Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you
Never gonna give you up
Never gonna let you down
Never gonna run around and desert you
Never gonna make you cry
Never gonna say goodbye
Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you

[Post-Chorus]
Ooh (Give you up)
Ooh-ooh (Give you up)
Ooh-ooh
Never gonna give, never gonna give (Give you up)
Ooh-ooh
Never gonna give, never gonna give (Give you up)

[Bridge]
We've known each other for so long
Your heart's been aching, but you're too shy to say it (To say it)
Inside, we both know what's been going on (Going on)
We know the game, and we're gonna play it

[Pre-Chorus]
I just wanna tell you how I'm feeling
Gotta make you understand

[Chorus]
Never gonna give you up
Never gonna let you down
Never gonna run around and desert you
Never gonna make you cry
Never gonna say goodbye
Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you
Never gonna give you up
Never gonna let you down
Never gonna run around and desert you
Never gonna make you cry
Never gonna say goodbye
Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you
Never gonna give you up
Never gonna let you down
Never gonna run around and desert you
Never gonna make you cry
Never gonna say goodbye
Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you

Decoding the second message gives:

 t = ''
 for _ in s: t += (63&ord())*chr(ord()>> 6)
 print(t)
 

Which just so happens to be the python code to decode these messages!

Explanation

I noticed that when I assumed that ሁ was equivalent to H, and so on using the first encoded message given (၁ = A, ጁ = L, etc), the difference in the unicode code points of the encrypted letters was exactly 64 times the difference in the code points of the unencrypted letters. The only thing that threw me off was the Ꮪ. I knew it had to be equivalent to the 26 Os in the plaintext, but wasn't sure how it decoded. More on that later.

Making the conversion tables

Going off of this information, I wrote a program to convert each of the 128 ASCII characters (or first 128 Unicode characters) into their corresponding encrypted character. This gave me this table:

ascii letter	encrypted letter
0	ఁ
1	ు
2	ಁ
3	ು
4	ഁ

Decoding the Messages (and The Mystery of the Repeated Letters)

I used the program to try and decode the messages, and it mostly worked. However, there were some characters that didn't decode. When I looked at it, they all were in place of a repeated letter. With that, I looked at the code point itself. Here's how they work:

Ꮪ: U+ABAA (5082 in decimal)
encrypted 'O': Ꮑ (5057 in decimal)
So, in the example, there are 26 'O's (1 + 25 repeated).
Therefore, to consolidate repeated letters, you add the number of repeated letters to the code point, giving you the new character.

Knowing how to decode the repeated letters, I was able to manually decode the repeated letters, giving the final message.
