        I'm always curious about what solutions there could be,
        so I took a look.

        Here are my steps:

        put a triangle in the corner
        duplicate it, with copy and paste
        so it stay in place

        keep the duplicate selected
        use the corner tool to create a
        round corner

        select both shapes then
        select a boolean exclude (substract)

        Here a Video which shows the steps:

          My approach is a bit different. To make the shape pleasing to the eye, an arc should be made as a tangent. I have two methods for this:

          1. Using @Subpath and @encart trick in the following thread

          1. Using two tangent circles and the Shape Builder Tool

            love it 👍
            Coming from CorelDraw, I always forget
            about the shapebuilder, grrrrr 🙂
