surface, table, chart, diagram
表 centers on the outward-facing side of something: the surface, what is shown or expressed, and by extension a structured display like a table, chart, or diagram.
表 originally combined 衣 (clothing) with 毛 (fur), suggesting the outer fur lining of a garment, hence the idea of surface or exterior. The modern form has simplified the lower part, but the connection to clothing and outward appearance remains.
The top 龶 looks like a flat surface, and the lower part resembles a simplified 衣 (clothing). Picture the outer surface of a garment being spread out like a table or chart.
For ヒョウ, imagine a hyō (雹, hailstone) hitting the surface of a table, leaving a mark on the chart: hyō -> ヒョウ.
