Encoding Process: circus to Y2lyY3Vz

Step 1: Map ASCII Characters to Binary

ASCII CharacterBinary Value
c01100011
i01101001
r01110010
c01100011
u01110101
s01110011

Step 2: Group Bits into 6-bit Chunks

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

011000 110110 100101 110010 011000 110111 010101 110011

Step 3: Convert Binary to Base64

Binary ValueBase64 Character
011000Y
1101102
100101l
110010y
011000Y
1101113
010101V
110011z

When combined, these characters form the encoded string: "Y2lyY3Vz"
