Decoding Process: Z21iaA== to gmbh

About the '=' Padding

The '=' at the end of "Z21iaA==" is padding. Base64 encoding requires the input length to be divisible by 4. When it's not, '=' characters are added as padding. These padding characters are represented as '000000' in binary but are not used in the final decoded output.

Step 1: Map Base64 Characters to Binary

Base64 Character	Binary Value	Decimal Value
Z	011001	25
2	110110	54
1	110101	53
i	100010	34
a	011010	26
A	000000	0
=	padding (000000)	-
=	padding (000000)	-

Step 2: Group Bits into Bytes

The binary string is grouped into 8-bit chunks (1 byte each):

01100111 01101101 01100010 01101000 0000

Step 3: Convert Binary to ASCII

Binary Value	ASCII Character
01100111	g
01101101	m
01100010	b
01101000	h
0000

When combined, these characters form the decoded string: "gmbh"
