I tried downgrade but the problem remains. If for you it works, it means
that you have solved only a part of the problem.
Norbert's deductions are correct, I also saw the source code and it
looks internally Kate work only in utf-8, so it does not seem to be an
environment problem but of application or of libraries (and for this
reason it may also concern more applications).
The confirm of this: if I try to open the same file with LibreOffice
Writer from console (with "lowriter filename"), instead it works properly.

Hi.
I have done a few tests on a virtual machine and I have discovered
that the problem is with ibus latest package. I have problems with
ibus 1.5.25 and it is only fixed when I downgrade it to 1.5.24.
So I think that we should reassign this bug to ibus.

My guess is that there is a locale setup mismatch, and what
happens is:
- filename is encoded in latin1
- kate expects utf8
- kate replaces the non-interpretable characters from latin1 with
� (Unicode "REPLACEMENT CHARACTER")
which has hex utf-8 bytes
EF BF BD
which you see in the hd output:
> 00000010 ef bf bd ef bf bd ef bf bd ef bf bd ef bf bd ef
I have never tried running KDE in a *non UTF-8* locale, that might be
problematic.
I tried to reproduce this with
LANG=de_AT@euro kate
(this is a iso locale defined on my computer) but kate always uses
utf8.
So I suggest that you make sure that your locales are properly set up,
and match with the settings of kde.
Best
