extend the lines of the 'K' to beyond the boundaries of the circle before intersecting.

this issue is caused because the boundaries of each shape are on top of each other but not quite identical (it would appear the 'K' is fractionally smaller than the circle)

when subtracting from above it's often worth leaving overhang to avoid situations like this :)
