Description
**Describe the bug**
When I enter a data file in either XML or JSON format into a base64-->Encode variable, the encoding appears to fail when the file contains a percentage symbol.
**Expected behavior**
I expect it should base64 encode the file.
**Screenshots**
File contains percentage symbol.
Insomnia contains the Base64-->Encode variable.
Entering JSON data file into variable.
Base64 encoding has failed.
**Desktop (please complete the following information):**

Contributor guide
Research direction
Start at the Base64 → Encode variable entry point and reproduce the failure with XML and JSON files containing a percentage symbol. Trace how the variable reads file content, then add a regression test covering that input and verify the file is base64 encoded successfully.
