About the '=' Padding

Base64 encoding requires the input length (in bytes) to be divisible by 3. If it's not, padding is added: Two '=' characters are added when the input length modulo 3 equals 1. This happens because the input length leaves a remainder of 1 when divided by 3, indicating that two more bytes are needed to complete the 3-byte group. This ensures the encoded output is properly aligned.

Step 1: Map ASCII Characters to Binary

ASCII Character	Binary Value
m	01101101
i	01101001
s	01110011
c	01100011
e	01100101
l	01101100
l	01101100
a	01100001
n	01101110
e	01100101
o	01101111
u	01110101
s	01110011

Step 2: Group Bits into 6-bit Chunks

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

011011 010110 100101 110011 011000 110110 010101 101100 011011 000110 000101 101110 011001 010110 111101 110101 011100 11

Step 3: Convert Binary to Base64

Binary Value	Base64 Character
011011	b
010110	W
100101	l
110011	z
011000	Y
110110	2
010101	V
101100	s
011011	b
000110	G
000101	F
101110	u
011001	Z
010110	W
111101	9
110101	1
011100	c
11	w

When combined, these characters form the encoded string: "bWlzY2VsbGFuZW91cw=="
