What is a "star" after phone number in a contact

Using iPhone 4S with IOS 5.1. On some contacts there is a "*" ("star") after one of the phone numbers. What is the meaning? Have not found any explanation in the User's Guide for IOS 5.1.

The star indicates the number is associated with a "favorite" phone number. Favorites can be seen at the bottom left of the Phone app. It makes for quicker dialing versus looking through the entire contact list.
