Special Content CSS Content: Hex vs normal character

Example "BLACK STAR" ★ (U + 2605)

.a:after {
   content: "\2605";
   position:absolute;
}

.b:after {
   content: "★";
   position:absolute;
}

Demo: http://jsfiddle.net/l2aelba/vBjxX/

Why is someone / recommended to use HEX as \2605in CSS value? Both will get the same result.
