This string looks like it’s been processed with uuencode. In uuencoding you’ll typically notice that: • The very first character (here “H”) encodes the count of bytes on that line (since in uuencode the count is given by the ASCII value minus 32; H – 32 equals 40, meaning 40 bytes when decoded). • The rest of the characters fall into the printable ASCII range (from space through the backtick “`”), and you might see backticks used to represent “zero” values. These characteristics distinguish it from schemes like Base64 or Ascii85. So the encoding scheme used here is uuencode.
Testing if the previous output contains the string uuencode: True

At first glance the characters fall into the 32–96 ASCII range (printable characters using punctuation, numbers and uppercase letters) and note the backticks at the end. That’s a strong hint that it isn’t something like base64 (which uses A–Z, a–z, 0–9, “+” and “/”) but rather the old uuencode format. In uuencode the very first character of each encoded line gives the length (by adding 32 to the number of data bytes encoded), and the rest of the line is produced by mapping 6‐bit groups into characters from the printable range. The appearance of characters such as “H” (whose ASCII code 72–32 = 40 suggests 40 bytes of data), mixed with punctuation and backticks, is typical of a uuencoded line. So it appears that this string is using the uuencode encoding scheme.
