I am writing an IRC bot in node.js and I am trying to implement base76 
conversion. Similar to base64, but using a different number. It's a 
stupid idea, but we want to use a base that isn't commonly used, not 
really for security, but for privacy, if that makes any sense. The basic 
idea that I have is to get the string and convert it to the ascii 
character codes, then that string of numbers to base76 using a character 
set that I made up. I think I'm going to use 
"ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz0123456789+=/\><^-_%$[]*" 
but I have no idea if that's actually what's used in that base. Would I 
be best off using the base64 module and modifying that or making mine 
implementation in js?
