palanquin, litter
轎 centers on a human-carried enclosed seat: a palanquin or litter used to transport a person.
轎 combines 車 (vehicle) with 喬, which likely contributes the sound and the idea of something raised or tall, fitting a carried chair.
The left side 車 is a vehicle, and the right side 喬 looks like a tall structure. Picture a tall box-like seat on wheels or poles: a palanquin carried by bearers.
For キョウ, imagine a palanquin carried through Kyoto (キョウト): Kyoto -> キョウ, and the palanquin is a traditional sight there.
