public static extern Int64 OpenModelW(byte[] fileName);

Property fileName

Size: 64 bit / 8 byte (reference)
The file name of the file as available in the file system in Unicode (wchar_t *). The given wchar_t array will not be adjusted. The size of each wchar_t element is depending on the OS, both 16 bit / 2 bytes wchar_t elements as well as 32 bit / 4 byte wchar_t elements are recognized and supported.
