Encoding Process: behold to YmVob2xk

Step 1: Map ASCII Characters to Binary

ASCII CharacterBinary Value
b01100010
e01100101
h01101000
o01101111
l01101100
d01100100

Step 2: Group Bits into 6-bit Chunks

The binary string is grouped into 6-bit chunks for Base64 encoding:

011000 100110 010101 101000 011011 110110 110001 100100

Step 3: Convert Binary to Base64

Binary ValueBase64 Character
011000Y
100110m
010101V
101000o
011011b
1101102
110001x
100100k

When combined, these characters form the encoded string: "YmVob2xk"
