Question

how do you write 8:23 in spanish

Accepted Answer

In Spanish, 8:23 can be written:
las ocho y veintitres
If it's the morning (8:23 am):
las ocho y veintitres de la manana
If it's the evening (8:23 pm):
las ocho y veintitres de la noche
In a 24 hour format (20:23), for the evening:
las veinte y veintitres

Answer

In Spanish 8:23 is written:

Las ocho y veintitrés.
 
See that veintitrés has a "tilde" on the last é letter. That is because the word veintitrés is an oxytone, or it has the final syllable stressed, what it is the same.
So, you could say "It's 23 past eight":
Son las ocho y veintitrés.
 
As you say "It is 23 past eight in the morning" (8:23 am) or "It is 23 past eight in the evening" (8:23 pm or 20:23) you also could write the same way in Spanish:
Son las ocho y veintitrés de la mañana. It is 23 past eight in the morning.
Son las ocho y veintitrés de la tarde. It is 23 past eight in the evening.
(See that the correct form is: de la tarde. And not: en la tarde.)
 
It is more common to write talking about the evening: Son las ocho y veintitrés de la tarde. Than: Son las veinte y veintitrés. The last one sounds weird if it is written but it could be used talking among friends.
