event currentTarget in jQuery

Event currentTarget works in the same way as "this" inside a function.

<button id="this_button">Click</button>
<!--Script jQuery-->
<script>
  $(function(){
    $("#this_button").on("click", function (event) {
      if(event.currentTarget===this){
        console.log(event.currentTarget.innerHTML);
      }
    });
  });
</script>
<!--JQuery Library-->
<script src="https://code.jquery.com/jquery-3.6.3.min.js"></script>
