"Charm point" (Japanese: チャームポイント) is a term used in Japanese to discuss the physical feature or personality trait that makes a person or character attractive or at least interesting to others: their smile, their biceps, their legs, their sense of humor, their clumsiness, etc. This trope is when a character's charm point is pointed out and discussed In-Universe. If the character themself is the one designating what their charm point is, expect them to do so with quite a bit of pride. This often overlaps with Proud Beauty (if the trait is considered genuinely beautiful in-universe) and, if the trait is specifically their bust size, either Big-Breast Pride or Petite Pride. When other characters are the ones pointing out another's charm point to them, that character will typically be befuddled or reveal they were fully unaware that others find that aspect of them appealing.
For maximum humor, the actual draw of the trait in question may be completely non-intuitive to the audience, but make perfect sense to whatever minor passerby appears on the show. Or a character may designate something as their charm point when it is actually their worst quality or trait. For example, an ugly character with Delusions of Beauty who considers their Gonk face their best feature or a Know-Nothing Know-It-All who boasts about their intellect when they are actually dumb as a box of bricks. Even if it isn't their worst trait, another comedic take is when a character calls a trait that no one else but them cares about or even notices their charm point.
While this is primarily about physical features and personality traits that are innate qualities of a character, it is quite common for items that are worn or carried everyday to the extent that they become part of a character's personal appearance, like a pair of glasses or a headband, to be designated in-universe as a charm point.
A common subtrope is Sexy Flaw, when some kind of imperfection (physical deformity, Speech Impediment, etc.) adds to the character's romantic and/or sexual appeal. Compare Lascivious Beauty Mark for when a beauty spot is both used to characterize someone as being flirty and seductive and to emphasize their In-Universe sexual attractiveness.

Of course, there's Major Armstrong from Fullmetal Alchemist who, believing that his (admittedly stunning) physique is desired by everyone, will take any opportunity to show it to anyone, including Scar in the middle of a battle. Scar was not amused, and neither were any of the soldiers there, or Ed at a later date.

Cinderella (Rodgers and Hammerstein): "Stepsisters' Lament" is a song about Cinderella's two stepsisters bemoaning the prince's attraction to Cinderella and wondering just what it is he sees in her. They describe her possible charm points (her daintiness, pale skin, long neck, pink cheeks, and gentleness) in unflattering ways before exaspertedly chanting "What's the matter with the man?"

In Tropical-Rouge! Pretty Cure, the main characters each have a physical feature that acts as their charm point, which are emphasized when they transform into Cures:
Manatsu has her lips, as her most treasured item is her mother's lipstick; when she turns into Cure Summer, she gets bright pink lipstick.
Sango has her cheeks, as she works at her mother's makeup store; when she turns into Cure Coral, she gains heart-shaped Blush Stickers.
Minori has her eyes, which are normally framed by her glasses; when she turns into Cure Papaya, she gets large turquoise eyelashes.
Asuka has her hair, which is the longest and spikiest of the group; when she turns into Cure Flamingo, it becomes even longer and spikier.
Laura has her nails, which are emphasized when she turns from a mermaid into a human; when she turns into Cure La Mer, she gains nail polish (cyan on her fingers and pink on her toes).

Ouran High School Host Club: As the story is about a group of high schoolers running a host club, the concept of charm points is discussed and mocked to hell and back, with each of the main characters having a distinct selling point:
Tamaki's is his Princely Young Man looks due to his blonde hair and blue eyes because of his half-French ancestry, which he plays up by acting like Prince Charming.
Kyouya's is being Tall, Dark, and Handsome with an aloof air.
The Hitachiin twins have each other as part of their Twincest gimmick.
Hani's is his small stature and cute appearance that makes him come off childlike and cute, making him the Token Mini-Moe. He plays this up by deliberately invoking Cuteness Proximity.
Mori is an odd case since his charm point is another character, Hani. When the club tries to instruct a delinquent that a charm point can work wonders for one's image, they bluntly point out that without Hani around people would see Mori as just a huge scary thug who barely talks, much to the latter's distress.
And Haruhi's charm point is her straight-forwardness and lack of any artifice, something that the group rebrands as her being a Clueless Chick-Magnet.

Milla Maxwell from Tales of Xillia has her sizable and multicolored ahoge. She's very proud of it, and had one of the spirits under her command style it for her. She also explicitly refers to it as "her charm point" in the Japanese version of the game note "Crowning Glory" in the localization; it's not a namedrop of the trope but it means essentially the same thing.

Muscle-obsessed team manager Gou decides to have the members show off their signature strokes and what she believes to be their "charm points" (their muscles) by having them strip on stage. It only puts potential hopefuls off and they turn their attention towards other clubs.
