E. g., the very same character,
U+201C LEFT DOUBLE QUOTE QUOTATION MARK, is used
- as opening-quote mark, in English (USA),
- as closing-quote mark, in German (DE).

So, there is not comprehensive list of openers vs. closers possible.

Best wishes,

PS. In these tow languages, the quote-marks are paired thusly:
  en_US: U+201C ... U+201D,  and U+2018 ... U+2019
  de_DE: U+201E ... U+201C,  and U+201A ... U+2018
