About the '=' Padding

The '=' at the end of "ZWxsYQ==" 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
W	010110	22
x	110001	49
s	101100	44
Y	011000	24
Q	010000	16
=	padding (000000)	-
=	padding (000000)	-

Step 2: Group Bits into Bytes

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

01100101 01101100 01101100 01100001 0000

Step 3: Convert Binary to ASCII

Binary Value	ASCII Character
01100101	e
01101100	l
01101100	l
01100001	a
0000

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