ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Comment 1 Thomas Fischer 2019-03-16 19:20:17 UTC 
I tried to reproduce this problem, but for me there is no problem. Both bibtex and biblatex/biber work and I get a PDF with the name spelled correctly.

LaTeX file for use with BibTeX:
\documentclass{article}
\begin{document}
\nocite{*}
\bibliographystyle{plain}
\bibliography{bug403793-ruzicka}
\end{document}

LaTeX file for use with Biber/BibLaTeX:
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[backend=biber,style=apa]{biblatex}
\DeclareLanguageMapping{english}{english-apa}
\addbibresource{bug403793-ruzicka.bib}
\begin{document}
\nocite{*}
\printbibliography
\end{document}


Used .bib file as saved with KBibTeX:
@article{bug403793,
	author = {A. R{\r u}{\v z}i{\v c}ka},
	month = jan,
	title = {{Testing UTF-8-to-LaTeX Translation}},
	year = {2019}
}

Invocation of pdfLaTeX and BibTeX:
rm -f bug403793-*blg bug403793-*bbl bug403793-*aux bug403793-*run.xml bug403793-*bcf bug403793-*log ; pdflatex -halt-on-error bug403793-ruzicka-bibtex && bibtex bug403793-ruzicka-bibtex && pdflatex -halt-on-error bug403793-ruzicka-bibtex && pdflatex -halt-on-error bug403793-ruzicka-bibtex

Invocation of pdfLaTeX and BibLaTeX/Biber:

Comment 2 Thomas Fischer 2019-03-16 19:35:50 UTC 
I noticed that your bug report mentioned version 0.8.2 whereas my test was on the latest development version. Due to a re-write, the bug should not exist in 0.9 and any later version, including the master branch.

Please test it yourself. Use the quick start to run KBibTeX [1] with the following command:
bash run-kbibtex.sh "https://anongit.kde.org/kbibtex.git" "kbibtex/0.9"
