minified code is supposed to look this way. If your having trouble accessing jquery I've included a few ways I got it to work.

https://code.jquery.com/ if attempting to access the cdn you would left click on minified and copy and paste the entire script into your html doc.

http://jquery.com/download/ if you're looking to download the jquery file and store locally, what I did was right click on the download link and used the "save link as" option. Sorry if this still doesn't answer your question and the problem you are having is more complex.

They aren't "unknown", just mashed together with spaces and other non-essentials removed.

That's what "minified" code looks like: good for the computer (much more compact), but terrible for humans.
