1. Phone compass

Open a compass app, move the phone in a figure of 8 to calibrate, keep it away from metal, then turn until the compass reads 23°.
2. Start from north

Face north, then turn 23° to the right. A right angle is 90°, so 23° is about a quarter of a right angle.

Hold the phone flat. A compass points to magnetic north, while the degrees on this page are measured from true north, so the reading can differ slightly.
