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
o	01101111
b	01100010
s	01110011
t	01110100
a	01100001
c	01100011
l	01101100
e	01100101

Step 2: Group Bits into 6-bit Chunks

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

011011 110110 001001 110011 011101 000110 000101 100011 011011 000110 0101

Step 3: Convert Binary to Base64

Binary Value	Base64 Character
011011	b
110110	2
001001	J
110011	z
011101	d
000110	G
000101	F
100011	j
011011	b
000110	G
0101	U

When combined, these characters form the encoded string: "b2JzdGFjbGU="
