This seems to work just fine:

$ cat /tmp/a
#!/usr/bin/env python3
import requests
requests.post("https://ntfy.sh/mytopic",
data="this is test\U0001f94a A \U0001f7e6 B \U0001f7e6 C ",
headers={
"X-Title": "test",
"Priority": "3",
"Tags": "red_square"
})

$  python3 /tmp/a

Must be something in your environment. Closing this for now.

och sorry , i just tested it with second linux distro where it works.....so yes , something wrong with python "requests" library.
Och God.....its a simple requests library. But ok - its an older Debian version.
Workaround solved my problem:
data= "this is test\U0001f94a\ A \U0001f7e6\ B \U0001f7e6 C ".encode('utf-8'),

Sorry for your time. Big apologies.
