I need to put a closed quotation mark at the beginning of a sentence to indicate something special. I believe there is a way to do this, but can't find it.

The opening mark has to be closed, not open.
You could type "a" and let InDesign smartify the quotes as you type them, then delete the first two charcters. If you are using a Mac you can type Option Shift ].

Either type it manually (turn off typographic quotation marks in the file‘s preferences), or insert them with the help of the Glyph Panel or change the in preferences > dictionary in the used language.
The shortcut how to insert a specific quotation mark depends on language (each language has different one, or even the same language in different countries based on different ones, the keyboard layout and the OS).

Thank you, that works.

Yes. You can easily invoke the character directly:
As @Scott Falkner has said for Mac, Option + Shift + ] will give you a sIngle closing quote. On a Win: Alt + Shift + ]
(Auto smart quotes assume that a quote added after a space before a letter should be an opening single/double quote.)

Option + shift + quote mark gives Æ. But someone made suggestion that works. Thanks anyway.
