expatriate, person living abroad, temporary home
僑 centers on living away from one's homeland: an expatriate, a person residing abroad, or a temporary home in a foreign place.
僑 combines 亻 (person) with 喬, which likely contributes the sound and may relate to the idea of being tall or distant, suggesting a person far from home.
A person 亻 beside 喬, which looks like a tall watchtower. Imagine an expatriate standing by a tall tower in a foreign land, looking toward home.
For キョウ, picture an expatriate in Kyoto (京都, きょうと) feeling at home: Kyoto -> キョウ, and the person 亻 finds a temporary home there.
