A digraph blend is when two consonants are paired together to create a sound that blends them together. A couple of English examples are "ch" and "th."
A digraph is short for directed graph.
The antonym for "digraph" is "monograph." While a digraph is a combination of two letters representing a single sound, a monograph is a scholarly piece of writing on a specific subject.
"Boat" is a word with a vowel digraph, with the "oa" representing a single vowel sound.
A split digraph is when a vowel digraph is split by a consonant, such as the 'e' at the end of a word making the vowel say its name as in "time" or "hope." It occurs when an 'e' at the end of a word changes the short vowel sound to a long vowel sound.
Yes, "squadron" contains a digraph. The "qu" in squadron is a digraph because the letters work together to produce a single sound, rather than each letter making its own sound.

The word "kerchief" contains a digraph. The "ch" in "kerchief" represents a single sound, making it a digraph. There are no blends in the word, as blends consist of two or more consonants that each retain their individual sounds.
In linguistics, a blend combines parts of two words, while a digraph consists of two letters that represent a single sound. The word "world" contains a digraph, as the "rl" represents a specific sound combination in the pronunciation. However, it does not contain an ending blend, as blends typically involve consonant clusters at the beginning or middle of words rather than at the end. So, "world" primarily features a digraph rather than an ending blend.

I'm not 100% sure and am happy to be corrected, but this is my understanding of it: Blends are combinations of consonants where you can still hear the two separate sounds, eg. br, cr, pl. This seems counterintuitive to me, as 'blend' implies that you mixing something together so that it is indistinguishable, but apparently that's what a blend is. Digraphs are where two letters are used to represent a single sound - sh, th, wh, ch.
