What / Where is the "Character Browser" in Visual Studio 2008?

OK, so this is the background ... I'm going to manually fix the header files of several resources in our project. This includes correcting this value, among other things: #define _APS_NEXT_SYMED_VALUE..., which is automatically written to (usually) resource.h.

It is documented as having this purpose:

_APS_NEXT_SYMED_VALUE - the next character value that will be issued when you manually assign a character value using the New command in the Symbol Browser.

But where is the Symbol Browser !? I want to know, because I want to know why I am setting these values. I know what a browser / class view is, I know what Object Browser is, but it drives me crazy.: - D I even searched google for "visual studio" "symbol browser", but did not get any documentation about the browser in question. I know that I am located where there is a "New" command, and I can manually assign it a symbol value. Hm ...
