title: How do I encode a Binary blob as Unicode blob?
body: <p>I'm trying to store a Gzip serialized object into Active Directory's "Extension Attribute", more info <a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms980479(EXCHG.65).aspx" rel="nofollow noreferrer">here</a>.  This field is a Unicode string according to it's <a href="http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc961740.aspx" rel="nofollow noreferrer">oM syntax</a> of 64.</p>
  
  <p>What is the most efficient way to store a binary blob as Unicode? Once I get this down, the rest is a piece of cake.</p>
