These two new functions in b64Utils.js are intended to replace btoa and atob that have a problem with handling Unicode caharacters in a player's g+ name - like mine :P - and throw an exception, which prevents the Brag button to populate.

The functions below were effectively copy pasted from ecmanaut.blogspot.com
as suggested by MDN: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/window.btoa
and written by Johan Sundström:

"In most browsers, calling window.btoa on a Unicode string
will cause a Character Out Of Range exception.
To avoid this, consider this pattern, noted by Johan Sundström:"
