I don't think that's quite the same, since 電話 doesn't specifically refer to a symbol or gesture itself.
A closer comparison might be ✌️ on the entry for ピースサイン.
Could be useful, but I'll admit it does look a little odd.

I don't think it's unusual to see this symbol in contexts unrelated to driving.
For example, it's used here in an image promoting mahjong strategy books aimed at beginners:

Unicode named it "JAPANESE SYMBOL FOR BEGINNER"

I know we can have Japanese unicode characters in sense notes. Can we have emoji unicode?
