More importantly, there's a `redeemScript`, which decodes to `OP_0 OP_PUSH20 3ab2a09a1a5f2feb6c799b5ab345069a96e1a0a`. The should look familiar, because it's an `OP_0` followed by 20-byte hexcode of a public key hash. In other words, a P2SH-SegWit is precisely a SegWit `scriptPubKey` jammed into a script. That's all there is to it. It precisely matches how modern multisigs are a multsig jammed into a P2SH, as discussed in [§10.4: Scripting a Multisig](10_4_Scripting_a_Multisig.md).

This confirms that this is just a normal P2SH, locked by `"OP_DUP OP_HASH160 41d83eaffbf80f82dee4c152de59a38ffd0b6021 OP_EQUALVERIFY OP_CHECKSIG"`. It's when the redeem script is run that the magic occurs. Just as with a P2WPKH, an old node wil see `OP_0 OP_PUSH20 3ab2a09a1a5f2feb6c799b5ab345069a96e1a0a` and verify it automatically, while a new node will see that, know it's a P2WPKH, and so go out to the `witnesses`.

This works just like a P2WPKH address, the only difference being that instead of a 20-byte public-key-hash, the UTXO includes a 32-byte script-hash. Just as with a P2WPKH, old nodes just verify this, while new nodes recognize this is a P2WSH and so internally verify the script as described in previous sections, but using the `witness` data, which now includes the redeem script.
