CS2 Name Tags: the $1.99 single use renamer, the allowed characters, and the fixed position

Name Tags are single use items that let you nickname a weapon in Counter-Strike 2. Once you apply one, the name is locked in: you cannot modify it, and removing the Name Tag does not return it to your inventory.
Steam Support lists the details.
How to get one
Name Tags cannot start with a space. Any character outside that list is not officially supported and may not display properly. The game shows a preview before you confirm the name, and anything that does not appear in the preview will not show up once applied.
