I know I could just paint the triangle with the same colour behind, but I will be exporting with an Alpha, so I would prefer to have the triangle transparent.
I tried both Clip and Mask, but either these are not the right tool for this, or I just don't know how to use it.

Thanks, guys

You can use clipping to do it, and I could tell you how.  But I would use Difference.

 -- Select the letter.
 -- Path menu > Break Apart
 -- Deselect
 -- Select the triangle path
 -- Object menu > Raise to Top  (or this button on Selection tool control bar    )
 -- Select both paths
 -- Path menu > Difference

Excellent!
Difference did it!

Thank you so much Brynn
