A single char:
SHOW TABLES LIKE 'em_'; catalog | name | type | kind ---------------+---------------+----------+--------------- javaRestTest |emp |TABLE |INDEX

SHOW TABLES LIKE '%em_'; catalog | name | type | kind ---------------+---------------+----------+--------------- javaRestTest |emp |TABLE |INDEX
