Because you’re using variables that use SPECIAL characters. e.g `. , * / & % $`  
And Telegram can’t differ from a Markdown SPECIAL character.  
So these non-Markdown Characters have to be escaped using a `/` e.g., `/(` or `/*` or `/,` since you can’t do this, because you’re using variables, you have two ways to fix this. Either use HTML Markdown or use Better Logic Library and add a custom function for escaping

Like this one and use it like this: `{[escapeRegex(variable)]}`

```auto
function escapeRegex(string) {
    return string.replace(/[/\-\\^$*+?.()|[\]{}]/g, '\\$&');
}

```
