As @Paul LeBeau commented:

No there is no automatic way to do that. You have to position it yourself

Consider adding svg images to text using absolute positioning

Since any text in SVG is a vector object, it has absolute coordinates x, y, as the first character of the word and the last.

Using this you can position an icon or any other vector image to the beginning or end of the text.

I put the icon in the tag and position it at the end of the word using the tag
