I’d claim those are not strings, they are arrays of Uint8.

As for your subscript... in the code "mystring[0...1]” [0...1] is not a Range<Int>, it is a CountableClosedRange<Int>.  The error message told you that.  If you change your subscript to use CountableClosedRange<Int> instead of Range<Int> it works -- but it’s not something I think I’d do.
