Ligature glyphs vs. Words

When two letters are joined as a ligature, I understand they are considered as one individual glyph, I also understand that letters on their own like D or S are considered nouns or words. When connecting two letters or graphemes with a ligature as one glyph, is the glyph considered one word as D and S are, or two. When are ligatured letters considered their own characters and when is a ligature glyph considered two letters even though it is called one “glyph”? When they are joined, are these ligature glyphs named as D and S are as “dee” and “ess” ?
