This is something Boolean, and I can enter “True” but that’s not very convenient
Enter it with a leading apostrophe 'True which tells Calc to keep an otherwise convertible (to number, date, time, boolean) input as literal text, here True.

I have the same problem with a name True.

So is there a way to keep the apostrophe from printing?

Anyway, I just tried printing to PDF and the apostrophe was not printed. LO 7.4.2 and 5.3.7 …
You can however pre-format a cell to “number format” Text and anything you enter there afterwards stays text.
