Pretty much all of them. Liberation Mono, to name just one.
There are fonts that render ‘ as a mirrored ’, but they are a minority.

Because that’s how they were traditionally rendered with printing
presses, and handwritten before that.

In many fonts, the opening quote looks like a comma turned 180° (tail
up and to the right) and raised to the top of the cell. The closing
quote looks like a comma (tail down and to the left) just raised. With
serif fonts, this is like small 6 and 9 shapes; with sans-serif fonts,
the tail is thinner than the start of stroke.
For me, the difference is quite visible even on a non-HiDPI display; I
disagree that they are impossible to distinguish.
