Out of curiosity I looked into "D Cookbook" to check if it contains your particular case but the only mention of Base64 there is about encoding some data into Base64, not the other way around.
Hmm, yeah, I didn't want to have any section in there that was just "call this one function" but indeed the worry about utf encoding can magnify the problem. I did write about this a bit in chapter one on strings, but probably still not quite what you'd want...
