The appropriate sign for "corner" depends what kind of corner you are referring to. In general what you do is you use "flat"-hands ("B"-hands) to show a corner, (as in the corner of a room or the corner of a city block). However, if you are talking about the corner of a picture (on the wall) you would instead use an "L"-hand (or two index fingers) and do the sign horizontally (up in the air).

The concept of "corner" has other meanings that just an actual physical corner. There is also the metaphorical meaning of "to corner someone" as in force a person into a place or situation from which they cannot escape or move away from.
