    Hello!

    Hope you are well. I'll be glad to assist you.

    Unfortunately you cannot use simple symbols such as ?, ., or ! in your Xbox gamertag.

    This is because Xbox has certain restrictions on the characters allowed in gamertags to avoid confusion, technical problems, and possible abuse. Symbols such as these can interfere with the system, cause display problems, or be used to create misleading or inappropriate names.

    Xbox gamertags only allow spaces, numbers, and characters from the following Unicode alphabets and scripts: Basic English, Latin, Extended Latin, Extended Latin-A, Hangul, Katakana, Hiragana, CJK (Chinese, Japanese, Korean) symbols, Bangla, Devanagari, Cyrillic, Greek, and Thai.

    Best regards.

    How do you transfer a gamertag to a different Microosoft account?

    I also have this issue but mine gamer tag is linked to my girl friends email and now my Xbox one calls me by her name. I need my gamer tag under my own email but it seems the only way is by using a 360 and it wasn't simple on there either but I don't have
    one now.

    Why can't we do it on Xbox.com???

    Modern Warfare 3 CLAN TAGS

    the answer is simple what clan tags are you trying to use ?

    as for the profile's privacy or family settings it doesn't effect clan tags - since i have mine resticted and i can still use my clan tag
