When I use quote marks ( " ) in a define, the quote turn into unicode ( ").

I added this as my defined HEADER_SEARCH_BUTTON in includes/languages/english/MY_TEMPLATE/header.php:
<i class="fa fa-search" aria-hidden="true"></i>&nbsp;Search

When I load the page and check source, finding this:
<i class=&quot;fa fa-search&quot; aria-hidden=&quot;true&quot;></i>&nbsp;Search

Can somebody tell me how to escape those quotes? Or is that not my issue?
