Definition
边角 has three main uses: (1) the corner or edge of an object (e.g., 桌子的边角); (2) remnants or leftover material from manufacturing (common in the compound 边角料); (3) in literary contexts, border regions of a country. The archaic sense of a horn/trumpet sound from frontier areas is very rare today.
