Base64 is a transfer encoding.  UTF-8 and Windows-1250 are character 
encodings.  They have nothing to do with each other.

One uses character encodings to encode code points of characters of 
character sets.

One uses a transfer encoding to transfer (character) codes that cannot be 
handled verbatim by a protocol or network connection.
