Backup/Restore databse - "physical_backup_device_name"

Hi,
I ran into a command today like
RESTORE DATABASE testdb FROM DISK = N'E:\MsSQLServer\Backup\MyDb.bak'
WITH FILE = 7....
Does anyone know what the letter "N", right before the
physical_backup_device_name 'E:\MsSQLServer\Backup\MyDb.bak', is
for?
Thanks in advance!
