This mountain is the boundary between the Yuan Dynasty and the Koryo Dynasty, which is at current Hwanghaipukto, DPRK (cf. KPS 11080:2002 & ISO 3166.2:KP). All the books I checked give 岊嶺, so it looks this character is the error form of 岊. If there is no additional evidence, this character should be postponed.

There are two reasons why KR suggests to encode ‘巴山’ and ‘巴出’ separately.

1) Considering that Korean reading of ‘巴出’ is “Jeol(절)”, component ‘출(Chul, its syllable-final is /l/ (ell))’ is more peroper than ‘산(San, its syllable-final is /n/)’.
In that sense, ‘巴出’ is a Korean variant of ‘巴山’.

2) Depending on viewpoints, ‘巴出’ can be considered as a Korea-origin Hanja.

3) These two chars (mountain, exit) seem variants. However, since two components are so much different, KR suggests to encode these two separately.

For Comment #12850, it looks the “considering” reading of “Jeol(절)” is only based on the glyph, and the component 山 here is not used for the syllable-final, but a semantic element.

It is better to show at least one more evidence to show this is not an accident typo here.
