The most effective way of inputing Chinese punctuation characters such as 《 is probably using input method chinese-punct. Concretely, one can do it with the following steps:
- type
M-x C-l - type
chinese-punt, thenEnterto turn on chinese-punct input method - type
<and choose 3 for entering《 - enter
C-\to toggle back to the default input method
-
What's M-x C-l? The way to choose an input method is C-x RET C-\.– angusJan 3, 2012 at 6:12
does this help? Using ISO Latin 1 in Emacs. I'm not sure what you mean by "book title marks in Chinese"
Enable iso-accents-mode then type:
~< to get «
and
~> to get »

"book title marks in Chinese" is how guillements are used in Chinese and called.
iso-accents-modeis an obsolete way of entering accented Latin letters and not likely an ideal solution for entering guillements. +1 for pointing the option out.– qazwsxJan 1, 2012 at 22:54
If you are in an X environment, you can just simply use [Compose] [<] [<] or [Compose] [>] [>].

What is
[Compose]and[<], concretely? I.e. what do I do on my keyboard?– qazwsxJan 4, 2012 at 22:57 -
That depends on your configuration. For [Compose], either [AltGr] or the Windows context menu key are usually used. In some desktop environments like KDE, you have to activate it in the system settings. Jan 8, 2012 at 6:37
