Because the arguments to the operator "=" are of different type,
implicit type conversion takes place.
"character(1)" will by converted to "text", during this conversion
trailing blanks will be ignored, as befits the "character(n)" type.
You can get what you probably want by:
create temp table test ( tc varchar(1) );
