Is DZ "wrong" because it's not considered a digraph by professionals, or because people don't agree that digraphs should be considered single characters?

"DZ" isn't 'wrong', it's a perfectly valid two-character string consisting of "D" followed by "Z". Assigning to a multi-character string a encoded representation that isn't the concatenation of representations of each character in the string (especially while insisting that that makes it a distinct character in its own right) is what's wrong.
