Description:
LIKE doesn't work correct when using a key over a ucs2 column.

If you add "IGNORE KEY" clause or drop the key, the query start to return
the expected result.

How to repeat:
drop table t1;
create table t1 (a varchar(2) character set ucs2 collate ucs2_bin, key(a)); 
insert into t1 values ('A'), ('A'),('B'),('C'),('D'),('A\t'),('A\0'),('A\0'),('A\0'),('A\0'),('AZ');
select hex(a) from t1 where a like 'A_';
select hex(a) from t1 ignore key(a) where a like 'A_';

And the output is:

+----------+
| hex(a)   |
+----------+
| 0041005A |
+----------+
1 row in set (0.00 sec)

+----------+
| hex(a)   |
+----------+
| 00410009 |
| 00410000 |
| 00410000 |
| 00410000 |
| 00410000 |
| 0041005A |
+----------+
6 rows in set (0.00 sec)

Suggested fix:
Make the "SELECT..LIKE.." query return 6 rows both
with the "IGNORE KEY" clause, and without.
