Oh no. The whole point of EncodeBase64 is to take arbitrary binary data (not considered to be text at all), and represent it in ASCII form. Then DecodeBase64 can do the opposite, converting the Base64 data (which is ASCII) into arbitrary binary data. Note that if this binary data is actually text, it's up to you to keep track of what encoding it is.
