jQuery doesn't change anything, JavaScript's "internal" character set is UTF-8.
If you can't change what the server returns then you'll have to
convert from ISO-8859-1 to UTF-8. A quick Google search didn't turn up
any obvious JavaScript to do this but there are quite a few PHP and
Pearl based functions that you might be able to convert to do the job.
For instance:
