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
e	01100101
n	01101110
c	01100011
o	01101111
m	01101101
p	01110000
a	01100001
s	01110011
s	01110011
e	01100101
s	01110011

Step 2: Group Bits into 6-bit Chunks

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

011001 010110 111001 100011 011011 110110 110101 110000 011000 010111 001101 110011 011001 010111 0011

Step 3: Convert Binary to Base64

Binary Value	Base64 Character
011001	Z
010110	W
111001	5
100011	j
011011	b
110110	2
110101	1
110000	w
011000	Y
010111	X
001101	N
110011	z
011001	Z
010111	X
0011	M

When combined, these characters form the encoded string: "ZW5jb21wYXNzZXM="
