Only the vowel of 咬 (yao) is seemingly different from others, such as 交 (jiao) and 效 (xiao), but actually  yao and iao are the same sound in Chinese pinyin. Both of them are described as "iau" in IPA phonetic symbols. The phonetic radical "交" has high consistency!

it's true, and obvious in 注音符号 (bopomofo) :

yao : ㄧㄠ

jiao : ㄐㄧㄠ
