Affinity V2: GLYPH BROWSER no longer exist!

Although "Glyph Browser" appears in Help, it does not appear anywhere in the interface or menu. It doesn't appear in Photo, Publisher, or Designer. 

To get special characters, I had to resurrect good old charmap.exe, which I couldn't even remember the name of!

I expected more from version 2. At least a QR-Code Generator. I have to appeal to Inkscape to create QR-Codes. What a mishap!

In the menu: Window > Text > Glyph Browser

In the Help (online version):

It's a kind of panel, and they're all controlled by the Window menu now, I think.

I love Affinity Photo.  However, their 'help' and instructions for using the software are pathetic at best.  PLEASE Affinity Photo, spend some time on your help menus.  Users waste a lot of time with poorly written documentation (such as the Glyph Browser Not being available until toggled on under the 'Window menu item).

Truth. I fully agree. They should instruct using complete paths from the menus, not relative paths containing just the final part of the address.

Anyone who reads Affinity's "helps" is left with the question: "How do I go step by step to get to this screen?"

The authors fail to convert his thoughts into text so anyone can understand.
