In Lightroom Grid view, I see a small icon in the lower-left corner of one thumbnail that looks like a page with the corner folded up. What does this icon indicate?

The icon is telling you this image is a "virtual copy" of a master file. Virtual copies allow you to take a rendition into another direction, and can be based on any point in an image history, from import on.

That icon means the photo is a virtual copy.
In Lightroom, a virtual copy is an additional version of the same original image, letting you create different edits without duplicating the master file. It can represent a different rendition based on the image’s edit history, including from the point of import onward.
