Short answer: yes

Longer answer: try it

Dim ch As New Byte
Sub main()
If ch = "$" Then
End If
End Sub

Does the compiler accept the code? Yes, it does

Then look at the compiler output in the IDE by View -> Compiler
Output and browse down to where the program code actually does
something:

L2.Proc.Begin ;This.main

L3.If.Begin ;If ch = "$" Then
C0047:111 ;This.ch.Address
C0048:247 ;Read Var Byte
C0049:036 ;"$"
C0050:152 ;Is Equal.
C0051:137 ;16-Bit Value.
C0052:000 ;L3.If.End.HighByte
C0053:027 ;L3.If.End.LowByte
C0054:130 ;Branch On False.
L3.If.End
C0055:129 ;Branch.
L2.Proc.End

Notice the part where "$" is put in code as 036?

I would have pointed you to the place in the documentation that
answered your question but I couldn't find a sample of a simple
character literal used in an assignent.
