There must be few mistakes you are making.

First, You should have a doctype specified on your HTML page. Use HTML5 doctype
```
<!DOCTYPE html>
```
Second, you should specify the character encoding of the document as well. So, add:
```
<meta charset="utf-8" />
```
In your head section. Or for a longer version with better cross browser compatibility use:
```
<meta http-equiv='Content-Type' content='text/html; charset=utf-8'>
```

Also as Juhana said, your file must be saved with same encoding (i.e. Unicode UTF-8) to be able to store Unicode characters and display them.

A unquote string in PHP will be parsed as constant,
and if the constant is undefined,
it will treat as the string (instead of a variable)

If you dealing with constant, you can make use of constant function :-

echo constant("{$code}_NAME_ID");

However, use of this function will return warning message if the constant is not defined.
There are other option like parse_ini_file you can take a look,
this is ideal for handling large amount of setting / configuration
