Sorry, I don't follow you here. (Or do you mean like the key sequences
I give for these characters below? But there there's no ESC and no
release.)

AltGr-S-v for "‚" and AltGr-S-b for "‘", which nicely parallels the
bindings for "„" and "“", but it seems that can't be done with the C-x 8
map: Typing `C-x 8 S-v' tells me "C-x 8 v is undefined" (n.b.: "v" not "V").
