Does it make sense to specify the character encoding in the HTTP header when sending and returning CSS / JS files by the server? After all, everything is in Latin. Or is it better to point it out?

JS may well contain non-Latin strings - text for displaying messages.
CSS - I don't know.

JS and CSS
Can contain UTF-8
And you can have a very funny rake in the form of crooked messages.
In general, Americans and other creepy snobs, and you constantly come across these encodings.
General advice if your system allows UTF-8 and this file is not a fragment, save in UTF-8 with BOM
If it is a fragment, then be sure to insert a comment on the first line
