4oCcRWQNCg==? Wow. How did you come up with that?! I get the open double quite into my
comment files by copying it from google translate. Same with close double quotes and
vowels (both lower and upper case) with tone marks. What is the better way? Same
question with 'u' and 'U' with the two dots above. More difficult:
'u' or 'U', with the two dots above *and* tone marks.
The command base64 either encodes or decodes. Without the -d means encode. So,
echo "whatever string" | base64
gets you the encoded value.
The "better way" is if you really need the "AR PL UKai CN Book 16"
font is to use a real text editor.
But, if you will be looking at the text mostly in a terminal, then find a monospace font
you can live with.
Your prediction is correct; I see the open double quote and the 'E' in the same
position.
I had no doubt.
