What does `Catalog`.item like '%A\-%' mean? -MySQL?

I am looking at an old query and I cannot remember or figure out what this
part of the query means:

`Catalog`.item like '%A\-%'
It is the like '%A\-%'

I cannot figure out.

Then entire query is:
> SELECT *
> FROM `Catalog`
> WHERE `Catalog`.img_status = '1' AND `Catalog`.item_type ='R' AND
> `Catalog`.item like '%A\-%'
> ORDER BY `Catalog`.item_type


And will not work without the Like part

Thanks
Jeff
