...
When there is one character in single quotes with DC, then DC for that character does not work.
...
1 0000 ORG 0
2 0000 3F 34 B4 B5 DC '?', '4', "4", "5", '5'
2 0004 35
yes, this seems to be by design

Same as BYTE, but every last character of a string will have bit 7 set.

String constants are characters surrounded by double quotes.
any particular reason why single quote char constant really should be part of DC? How did you run into this? :)
checking if the behaviour was my design during rewrite of string parser or legacy design preserved and v1.10.4 (before I started patching sjasmplus) does the same thing, so this is legacy behaviour.
which will make me very reluctant to "fix" this in v1.x to not break anyone's else old project, unless this get very strong reasons why it should be changed.
It is possible that the documentation needs to be supplemented or the behavior of the compiler needs to be changed. In any case, it is necessary to notify users of this in large print)))
I'm afraid most of the users will still find the hard way, missing the note in docs, but at least now it's shown in the example.
Hope you will not run into too many of those legacy-traps, thank you for reporting.
@Tolik-Trek after release of 1.20.3 there will be one more new way to do these, instead of DZ or DC it will be possible to add Z or C suffix to string literal to request zero or high bit set, ie.
DB '\'C, 'A'Z ; bytes: 0xDC 0x41 0x00
