Cannot add Umlaut and other special characters into FeatureService via Python, via Browser and REST API works fine
1)Share a Feature Service. Use a referenced enterprise geodatabase.
2)Share FeatureService and MapService with everyone
3)a)Go to the service directory and add data:
My URL: https://xxxxxxx/rest/services/test/PyTest/FeatureServer/0/addFeatures
Featrues: [{"geometry":{"x" : 7.15, "y" : 47.15,"z":99.0},"attributes":{"UMLAUT":"ABCäüöèàéèëß"}}]
b)Alternativ: Do an insert in ArcGIS Pro directly into the FeatureClass
The result for both inserts is: ABCäüöèàéèëß
4)Execute the same on Python
url = 'https://xxxxxxxxxx/rest/services/test/PyTest/FeatureServer/0/addFeatures';
features = '[{"geometry":{"x" : 7.15, "y" : 47.15,"z":99.0},"attributes":{"UMLAUT":"ABCäüöèàéèëß"}}]'
gdbVersion = 'sde.default'
format = 'json'
The result is: ABCäüöèà éèëÃ

Not sure if this will help or not: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/46818040/how-to-work-with-german-umlaut-characters-in-python
Hoi Joe
I work with Python 3, the example is with Python 2.
I still tested with the following Conten-type headers={"Content-type": "application/json; charset=utf-8"} unfortunately also without success
I have found a workaround in which I develop a GPTool via Python API
gis = GIS(_portal_url_)
search_results = gis.content.search(_keyword_,"Feature Layer")
lyrs = search_results[0]
lyr = lyrs.layers[1]
umlaute = "ABCäüö"
add = {"attributes":{"PUNKTBESCHREIBUNG": umlaute},"geometry": {"x":2784373.041,"y":1187263.299,"z":9999.0}}
add_result = lyr.edit_features(adds=[add],gdb_version=_myVersion_)
