Package textcomp Error: Symbol \textlangle not provided by [\textlangle]

Question

In my thesis, I cite many orthographic forms in angular brackets. Until now, I had just been typing angular brackets and an explicit whitespace after (<word>), but I would like to switch to some nicer looking angular brackets I could put via a command which automatically includes the whitespace and would allow me to change the typesetting for all forms simultaneously (something like \Angular{word}).

From this post: [https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/48448/angle-brackets-in-non-math-mode-text] I got the idea of using the \textlangle and \textrangle command from the textcomp package and define a new command like this:

\usepackage{textcomp,xspace}
\newcommand{\Ang}[1]{\textlangle\xspace{#1}\textrangle\xspace}

In an article-class document where I did the test, it worked just fine, but in the larger report-class document of my thesis I get the error: "

Problem with textcomp package - Symbol \textlangle not provided by
[\Angular{word}]

I also tried directly typing \textlangle and \textrangle into my document, but receive the error:

Symbol \textlangle not provided by
[\textlangle]

Is there maybe something in my preamble which works against the textcomp package and the new command, or what could be the problem?

My preamble looks like this (I am sorry if it looks messy, I add new packages and commands every time I stumble upon a new problem to solve while thesis writing but don't know if there is a way to have a more "organized" preamble?):
