The typewrite is not typing out the "ß" despite using .decode

I have tried using other words like

typewrite("Hello World")

and they worked fine. So it is a problem with the typing rather than detection of the keyboard inputs

This is my current code

from pyautogui import *
from pynput import keyboard
keyNo = 0
def on_press(key):
    global keyNo
    if key == keyboard.Key.alt_l:
        keyNo = 1
    if keyNo == 1 and key == keyboard.KeyCode(char="s"):
        typewrite("ß")
with keyboard.Listener(on_press=on_press) as listener:
    listener.join()
listener = mouse.Listener(on_press=on_press)
listener.start()

I was hoping that I could press "ALT + S" on my keyboard and it would type out a "ß". However it does nothing no errors.

Did you include a shebang at the front showing an encoding that allows for the scharfes S? – Kaiwen Chen Mar 25 '19 at 19:41
# -*- coding: utf8 -*- ? Yes, sorry. If that is not it then no – Gary Clark Mar 25 '19 at 19:43

@KaiwenChen That is needed in Python 2, but in Python 3 utf-8 is the default. – zvone Mar 25 '19 at 20:01
