Assuming MULE-UCS - insert-ucs-character. #x2018 works in XEmacs,
?\x2018 in Emacs, I believe - the function takes a simple number from
the minibuffer as input. However, the documentation is in MULE-UCS
package, you can refer to it there.

Character set       ¡   ¢
--------------------------
Macintosh Roman    212 213
Macintosh Cyrillic 212 213
ISO 8859-7:1987    161 162

If you want to get the ISO 8859-7 character, you can say:

(make-char 'greek-iso8859-7 161)
(make-char 'greek-iso8859-7 162)

However, in my fonts atleast, the quotation marks don't look so proper
- but atleast they are defined to be the right character.
