I have a fairly new phone number that I have a hard time to remember when somebody asks for it. It would be nice if it would show up somewhere on the opening screen, so I don’t have to search for it in the Contacts list. Do you have a solution for this old-age problem?

Write the phone number on a piece of paper. Take a picture. select the picture as your wallpaper.

If it's an individual, the modern technique is to ask for their number and ring then there and then.
Alternatively, a sticker on the back of the phone works.

You place this widget on your first home screen. That is the only
adequate digital solution.
I tried it it works with notes.

Really? I was hoping for a cooler solution. For instance adding my number
to the screen that shows up when I press the right side button. Right now
it only shows the date and time.

Stone Age solutions are often the best because they’ve withstood the test of time and aren’t dependent on the whims of electricity.

I cut and covered identifying info:

I was more meaning the process rather than the outcome. What widget is displaying the phone number?
I had a play on the way home and managed to get a shortcut working with backtap to display a contact's phone numbers temporarily.

had to remember far more than just my own phone number. Apparently just
this one important number is one too many these days.
Of course I had written down multiple important numbers in a tiny black
book especially for those called infrequently.
Of course back in my day kids received all available vaccinations which is
no longer the case. Maybe we are on a downward spiral toward idiocracy. I don’t blame smartphones but the people who use them and the people they get their misinformation from.
I know…back in someone’s day people didn’t end sentences with prepositions.

Jörg already described the process.
Not really. He simply shared a generic Apple link and he mentioned notes. Your screenshot is not a note.
Hence my question to you. I'm asking because I'd like to something similar for a relative.
