Ddg-ing "Emacs German quotation marks" brings up
https://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/TypographicalPunctuationMarks, which seems to
have some helpful information, though some of it looks outdated.

You should probably check out electric-quote-mode, which isn't directly set up
to use German quotes, but it looks like it can easily be configured to do so.

Another option might be to modify an input method, esp. if you happen to use one
already. For example, this is what I do to add some emoji to latin-9-prefix:

```
(with-temp-buffer
  (activate-input-method "latin-9-prefix")
  (let ((quail-current-package (assoc "latin-9-prefix" quail-package-alist)))
    (quail-define-rules ((append . t))
                        (";)" ?😉)
                        (":]" ?😬)
                        ("8)" ?🥴)
                        (":|" ?😐)
                        (":/" ?😕)
                        (":(" ?😠)
                        ("X)" ?😵)
                        (":{" ?😦)
                        (">)" ?😈)
                        (";(" ?😢)
                        (":D" ?😀)
                        ("O)" ?😇)
                        (":)" ?🙂)
                        (":C" ?😼)
                        )))
```
