Christian,
the key combination you mentioned doesn't work (for me
not a big deal, though: there are several other
convenient ways to enter scharfes s), but I wonder why
you thought this would do: What's the magic behind
Alt-2-2-3?
Alt-"number" inserts the character with the "number" from the current
code page.
You find some code pages here:

and here:

In Windows-1252 the "ß" is at position "DF" which is a hex number; in
decimal system it is the number "223"
On my PC it seem that the old "CP850 (DOSLatin1)" codepage is used
because the "ß" is at position "E1" which corresponds to "Alt-225".
