Does jQuery change the encoding itself?

Question

JavaScript

For unknown reasons JQuery seems to change the encoding:

div = '.container';
container = $(div);
var = '<a class="class">Ответить</a>';
container.append(var);

Thus, a link with the text "Reply" is obtained.

div = '.container';
container = $(div);
var = '<a class="class">Ответить</a>';
var = $(var);
container.append(var);

And so - a link with the text "Ответить".
What can be done about it to leave var = $(var);?

jQuery does not have such super abilities) Look in what encoding the file itself is opened in your browser and in what encoding the file with js is different for you.
