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
s	01110011
c	01100011
o	01101111
t	01110100
l	01101100
a	01100001
n	01101110
d	01100100

Step 2: Group Bits into 6-bit Chunks

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

011100 110110 001101 101111 011101 000110 110001 100001 011011 100110 0100

Step 3: Convert Binary to Base64

Binary Value	Base64 Character
011100	c
110110	2
001101	N
101111	v
011101	d
000110	G
110001	x
100001	h
011011	b
100110	m
0100	Q

When combined, these characters form the encoded string: "c2NvdGxhbmQ="
