Try:

   :; grep QUOT /usr/share/X11/locale/en_US.UTF-8/Compose

to get something like:

<Multi_key> <period> <greater>     : "›"  U203a # SINGLE RIGHT-POINTING ANGLE QUOTATION MARK
<Multi_key> <period> <less>        : "‹"  U2039 # SINGLE LEFT-POINTING ANGLE QUOTATION MARK
<Multi_key> <less> <less>          : "«"  guillemotleft # LEFT-POINTING DOUBLE ANGLE QUOTATION MARK
<Multi_key> <greater> <greater>    : "»"  guillemotright # RIGHT-POINTING DOUBLE ANGLE QUOTATION MARK
<Multi_key> <less> <apostrophe>    : "‘"  U2018 # LEFT SINGLE QUOTATION MARK
<Multi_key> <apostrophe> <less>    : "‘"  U2018 # LEFT SINGLE QUOTATION MARK
<Multi_key> <greater> <apostrophe> : "’"  U2019 # RIGHT SINGLE QUOTATION MARK
<Multi_key> <apostrophe> <greater> : "’"  U2019 # RIGHT SINGLE QUOTATION MARK
<Multi_key> <comma> <apostrophe>   : "‚"  U201a # SINGLE LOW-9 QUOTATION MARK
<Multi_key> <apostrophe> <comma>   : "‚"  U201a # SINGLE LOW-9 QUOTATION MARK
<Multi_key> <less> <quotedbl>      : "“"  U201c # LEFT DOUBLE QUOTATION MARK
<Multi_key> <quotedbl> <less>      : "“"  U201c # LEFT DOUBLE QUOTATION MARK
<Multi_key> <greater> <quotedbl>   : "”"  U201d # RIGHT DOUBLE QUOTATION MARK
<Multi_key> <quotedbl> <greater>   : "”"  U201d # RIGHT DOUBLE QUOTATION MARK
<Multi_key> <comma> <quotedbl>     : "„"  U201e # DOUBLE LOW-9 QUOTATION MARK
<Multi_key> <quotedbl> <comma>     : "„"  U201e # DOUBLE LOW-9 QUOTATION MARK

The names (left vs right) corespond to how there are used in English.

Auf Deutsch, IIRC, it works like „this“ and ‚this‘.  Ie, closing with
the LEFT marks, ja?
