The font itself includes a set of characters (glyphs), each of which
has a name. In the most common case they will have names like a,b,c,
A,B,C, three, comma, and so forth. The encoding MUST use the names
actually found in the font.

If you have a font program that uses names c00, c01, etc. this means
someone has generated a font that uses those names - as you confirmed.
Probably a programmatic conversion of some other font format.

This is not a very helpful font (e.g. in a PDF file, text extraction
will be likely impossible), but is often found. Purchased or built in
type 1 fonts will usually use StandardEncoding or ISOLatin1Encoding,
but each needs to be checked.

The processing goes character number - name from encoding - find glyph
in font with that name - show glyph.

(Multibyte fonts such as those used for OpenType will usually use
numbered characters instead).
