How can circles have corners?

How can circles have corners?

Its the corners of the sector of the circle.

Not the corners of the circles (indeed, circles don't have corners), but of the sectors. For example, the number 18 should be the sum of the numbers/digits in the three corners of its sector:

In my training, corners were where lines intersect at right angles. Pies are (normally) sliced through center axes thus forming acute angles at the slice intersections.
