Decoding Process: dW5oYXBweQ== to unhappy

About the '=' Padding

The '=' at the end of "dW5oYXBweQ==" 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
d	011101	29
W	010110	22
5	111001	57
o	101000	40
Y	011000	24
X	010111	23
B	000001	1
w	110000	48
e	011110	30
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):

01110101 01101110 01101000 01100001 01110000 01110000 01111001 0000

Step 3: Convert Binary to ASCII

Binary Value	ASCII Character
01110101	u
01101110	n
01101000	h
01100001	a
01110000	p
01110000	p
01111001	y
0000

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