If your problem is reinterpretation of escape sequences in sqlite you can (ab)use json_extract eg.

    UPDATE  `tableToFix`  SET  `columnToFix` = json_extract('"'  ||  `columnToFix`  ||  '"', '$');
    INSERT INTO test VALUE (json_extract('"P\u0159\u00edli\u0161 \u017elu\u0165ou\u010dk\u00fd k\u016f\u0148 \u00fap\u011bl \u010f\u00e1belsk\u00e9 \u00f3dy."', '$'));

Notice: quotes handling. Valid json string starts and ends with " so you must add them before use of json_extract
