About the '=' Padding

Base64 encoding requires the input length (in bytes) to be divisible by 3. If it's not, padding is added: One '=' character is added when the input length modulo 3 equals 2. This ensures the encoded output is properly aligned.

Step 1: Map ASCII Characters to Binary

ASCII Character	Binary Value
c	01100011
a	01100001
m	01101101
b	01100010
r	01110010
i	01101001
d	01100100
g	01100111
e	01100101
s	01110011
h	01101000
i	01101001
r	01110010
e	01100101

Step 2: Group Bits into 6-bit Chunks

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

011000 110110 000101 101101 011000 100111 001001 101001 011001 000110 011101 100101 011100 110110 100001 101001 011100 100110 0101

Step 3: Convert Binary to Base64

Binary Value	Base64 Character
011000	Y
110110	2
000101	F
101101	t
011000	Y
100111	n
001001	J
101001	p
011001	Z
000110	G
011101	d
100101	l
011100	c
110110	2
100001	h
101001	p
011100	c
100110	m
0101	U

When combined, these characters form the encoded string: "Y2FtYnJpZGdlc2hpcmU="
