Encode data to Base64 format.

Features:

• Encodes strings or bytes to Base64
• Handles UTF-8 string encoding automatically
• Returns the result as a UTF-8 string
• Preserves data integrity for binary content

Behavior:

• Strings are first encoded to UTF-8 bytes, then Base64 encoded
• Bytes objects are directly Base64 encoded
• Result is always returned as a UTF-8 string
• Padding characters (=) are included as needed
