'SQL Server not applying criteria for first character

I have the following SQL query:

 select * from 
 (select N'🦋Christina 🦋 Taylor' name) a
 where name like '[a-z]%'

I am expecting the resultset to be empty because the first character is not an alphabet character. But in fact the query above returns a row.

Why is that?

I am using SQL server 2016.

sql sql-server
