What are the combinations of the consonants ch, sh, th, wh, ph called in the professional literature jargon? (I'm asking about the consonants that are represented by two letters).

They are called consonant digraphs.
Consonant blends (also called consonant clusters) are groups of two or
three consonants in words that makes a distinct consonant sound, such
as "bl" or "spl."
Consonant digraphs include bl, br, ch, ck, cl, cr,
dr, fl, fr, gh, gl, gr, ng, ph, pl, pr, qu, sc, sh, sk, sl, sm, sn,
sp, st, sw, th, tr, tw, wh, wr. Some trigraphs are nth, sch, scr, shr,
spl, spr, squ, str, thr.
There are also digraphs that produce a distinct vowel sound. Some
examples are: ai, au, aw, ay, ea, ee, ei, eu, ew, ey, ie, oi, oo, ou,
ow, oy. (source)
Hm, I would still distinguish between some of these, that are just the sounds of the two consonants âÂÂflowed together,â as inbl
orgr
or whatever, while others are distinctly separate (âÂÂsingleâÂÂ?) sounds different somewhat from the sounds of the constituent letters, as inch
,ng
,ph
,sh
, andth
. Would there be a term, perhaps, that is specific to the latter?
