Decoding Process: cm91Z2U= to rouge

About the '=' Padding

The '=' at the end of "cm91Z2U=" 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
c	011100	28
m	100110	38
9	111101	61
1	110101	53
Z	011001	25
2	110110	54
U	010100	20
=	padding (000000)	-

Step 2: Group Bits into Bytes

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

01110010 01101111 01110101 01100111 01100101 00

Step 3: Convert Binary to ASCII

Binary Value	ASCII Character
01110010	r
01101111	o
01110101	u
01100111	g
01100101	e
00

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