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
f	01100110
u	01110101
n	01101110
d	01100100
a	01100001
m	01101101
e	01100101
n	01101110
t	01110100
a	01100001
l	01101100

Step 2: Group Bits into 6-bit Chunks

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

011001 100111 010101 101110 011001 000110 000101 101101 011001 010110 111001 110100 011000 010110 1100

Step 3: Convert Binary to Base64

Binary Value	Base64 Character
011001	Z
100111	n
010101	V
101110	u
011001	Z
000110	G
000101	F
101101	t
011001	Z
010110	W
111001	5
110100	0
011000	Y
010110	W
1100	w

When combined, these characters form the encoded string: "ZnVuZGFtZW50YWw="
