How to recognise it

White on top, corner above the slot; the edge is beside it in front and their front stickers match.

Its inverse is another case

Do the 23 algorithm backwards, R2 U R' U R U2 R2 U2, and you are solving 14.

That's why CubeDojo never scrambles 23 that way: it builds a random state with the case fixed, so you practise 23 and not 14.
