The kanji 倖 is a phono-semantic compound (形声文字, けいせいもじ). It combines the semantic component 亻 (ninben), which represents "human," with the phonetic component 幸 (kō), which contributes the sound and also implies "good fortune" or "luck." Therefore, the character conveys the idea of a person experiencing good fortune or happiness. The character's formation is thought to have originally been a character representing a prisoner in a wooden frame with a yoke around their neck, later evolving to represent good fortune.
