Methinks you can use whatever you like.

You can also use accented letters 
or Greek, Hebrew or Cyrillic letters,
using a 16bit characterset.

Why should "A" stand for zero and "0" for something else?

Customary is to start the conversion-string with the ordinary numbers,
and then the capitals.

What is "the" base64 module?

Building your own gives far more satisfaction,
increases yous skill for other programming,
and makes the discussion here more fun.
