About the '=' Padding

The '=' at the end of "bm9taW5lZQ==" 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
b	011011	27
m	100110	38
9	111101	61
t	101101	45
a	011010	26
W	010110	22
5	111001	57
l	100101	37
Z	011001	25
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):

01101110 01101111 01101101 01101001 01101110 01100101 01100101 0000

Step 3: Convert Binary to ASCII

Binary Value	ASCII Character
01101110	n
01101111	o
01101101	m
01101001	i
01101110	n
01100101	e
01100101	e
0000

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