Emacs defines those characters (U+201C, U+201D, U+221A) as
`symbol' script and the default fontset defines this font
for `symbol':
  (font-spec :registry "iso10646-1" :script 'symbol)

So, somehow, "Kochi Gothic" font is scored higher than
"Dejavu Sans Mono".  Please try this:

(1) Start Emacs as "% emacs -Q".
(2) ESC : (setq font-log nil)
(3) ESC : (insert #x201c)
(4) M-x font-show-log RET

and show me the result.
