As Claw says, 去 is the historical character for it. This could come from 文白异读, that is, literary/colloquial readings. That would make sense, because colloquial readings are often either more innovative, or are a throwback.
Another option would be borrowing it from another variety, e.g. Cantonese keoi.

The Cantonese pronunciation is actually heoi, not keoi. A lot of words that historically had the
/kʰ/initial ended up having an/h/initial in Cantonese.– ClawCommented Jul 23, 2015 at 7:48 -
@Claw Just curious: was there a pattern to which remained
kʰand which becameh? Commented Jul 23, 2015 at 7:50 -
@StumpyJoePete I mentioned other examples in my answer here: chinese.stackexchange.com/a/10764/166 However, I hadn't looked further into the pattern of which ones remained
/kʰ/. At a cursory glance it seems like most of them became/h/(or eventually/f/in the case of/kʰu/), though there are a few that didn't. Many words that have the/kʰ/initial in Cantonese currently actually evolved from other initials, such as/g/.– ClawCommented Jul 23, 2015 at 7:58
keipronunciation? While I don't know Sichuanese, I wouldn't be surprised if 去 was the etymologically correct character for this pronunciation, especially since 去 historically was pronounced with a/kʰ/initial.
