Etymology
摽 combines 扌 (hand) with 票, which likely contributes the sound and may relate to the idea of a signal or mark, suggesting a hand action that sends something outward.
Meaning mnemonic
The hand 扌 beside 票 (which looks like a ticket or a signal) suggests a hand throwing out a ticket or striking a signal to push something away.
Reading mnemonic
For ヒョウ, imagine a hand throwing out a ticket with a sharp 'hyow!' sound: hyow -> ヒョウ, as the ticket flies outward.
