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
v	01110110
i	01101001
r	01110010
g	01100111
i	01101001
n	01101110
i	01101001
a	01100001

Step 2: Group Bits into 6-bit Chunks

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

011101 100110 100101 110010 011001 110110 100101 101110 011010 010110 0001

Step 3: Convert Binary to Base64

Binary Value	Base64 Character
011101	d
100110	m
100101	l
110010	y
011001	Z
110110	2
100101	l
101110	u
011010	a
010110	W
0001	E

When combined, these characters form the encoded string: "dmlyZ2luaWE="
