Nope.
The "TEL" sign depicted on page 508 of the Unicode 3.0 Book
isn't superscript (unliken say, the immediately preceding and
following characters, U+2120 SERVICE MARK and U+2122 TRADE
MARK SIGN). Also, the description on page 509 indicates a
compatibility decomposition to U+0054 U+0045 U+004C without
a <super> compatibility formatting tag.

A quick check with the two fonts on my mac that have this
character in their repertoire (Osaka and Heisei Mincho)
reveals a somewhat condensed (but *not* superscript) "TEL".
