How are values in lookups matched?

When a field value is passed to a lookup, what are the limits on how it can match the value in the lookup? Specifically:

Is the match case-sensitive? If not, what locale rules are used? Similarly, is it diacritic-sensitive?
Are any kinds of wildcards allowed? Can I use, e.g., * or Prefix-* in a lookup table and expect it to match an event field value like Prefix-1?
