The standard Base64 alphabet (RFC 4648) contains exactly 64 characters, plus = for padding:

Padding: = (not a data value; it only marks missing bytes at the end).
Why these characters?
The 62 letters and digits are identical in virtually every character set in use, including ASCII, the ISO-8859 family, UTF-8 and even EBCDIC-to-ASCII gateways, so they survive any text channel. The two remaining characters differ between standards, because + and / have special meanings in URLs and file names.

Quick facts
- Characters that are never valid in standard Base64: spaces,
-,_,.,%,#and any non-ASCII character. Use the validator to find them. - Base64 is case-sensitive:
a(26) andA(0) are different values. =can only appear at the end, at most twice.- A string of only letters and digits is valid in every variant at once, which is why the detector may report several matches.
