Are you wanting to use 'C-x g neg' to insert the symbol "¬" into 
the buffer? If so, you'll need to create a command for 
`global-set-key` to call, which does the insertion, e.g.

    (global-set-key (kbd "C-x g neg")
                    (lambda () 
                      (interactive) (insert "¬")))

If this is not what you're after, could you please explain further 
what you're trying to do?
