I can repeat the given example with:

$ echo -n 'MTIzNDU2Nzg5MDEyMzQ1Njc4OTAxMjM0' | mmencode -u 123456789012345678901234

but when I run the original string through decode, I get only binary nonsense from:

echo -n 'MgwfkqCnGu2XUvmW3sNnrZ9pV0TJl/CD' | mmencode -u 2 §íRùÞÃg-ð

Remember: A byte is 8 bits; any combination. Just count bytes. Maybe this:

echo -n 'MgwfkqCnGu2XUvmW3sNnrZ9pV0TJl/CD' | mmencode -u | hexdump -C

What I do wrong or what I'm missing here?

All bits are used ;-)
