@ASimmons My fresh Mathematica installation on Windows, which has $CharacterEncoding set to WindowsANSI which is CP1252 (which is sufficiently compatible with ISO 8859-1 for ± and · to be usable for a single byte).

@MartinEnder Welp, I don't think Mathematica has a default encoding at all, so it should be assumed to use UTF-8. For instance, my default encoding is CP-949 (because I'm using Korean Windows), so ± is two bytes, but on English Windows (using CP-1252), it is one byte.

| Nov 29, 2016 at 6:09 | comment | added | Martin Ender | @JHM this answer could be more explicit about it, but the meta post says that the language's default takes precedence over UTF-8 and the default encoding of Mathematica on Windows is the Windows code page, not UTF-8. | |

@MartinEnder It seems that answers are assumed to use UTF-8 unless specified elsewhere, so I believe ± should count as two bytes.

@JHM UTF-8 is not the default character encoding on Windows. Mathematica can read source files in a single-byte code page that includes ±.

@GregMartin ± in UTF-8 (Mathematica uses UTF-8 by default; try $CharacterEncoding) is a two-byte character (U+00B1).

| Nov 29, 2016 at 3:31 | comment | added | Greg Martin | Nah, Martin Ender gets most of my credit anyway. Why is ± two bytes? | |

Because ± is a 2-byte character, your code is 59 bytes long. Also, there must be a space between x_ and .. because Mathematica interprets x_.. as x_. . (which throws errors). Plus, the infix form of Min (x~Min~z) would make this 2 bytes shorter (which makes this solution identical to one of mine :p ...) Welp you can take the credit because my edit was later than yours....
