That's an interesting assertion in the light of the fact that the mark
is predominantly used to annotate words, not to stand for the word in a
sentence.
I would argue that using a shape that reflect that most common use is
the one that is appropriate for plain text.

PS: for some situations you might want to use styling that doesn't limit
itself to standard superscript. Often the mark is very small when a
trademark term is show very prominently or in a larger type face than
the running text on a page.
