The BC879 is manufactured in a plastic TO-92 case. When looking at the flat side with the leads pointed downward, the three leads emerging from the transistor are, from left to right, the emitter, collector, and base leads.
Here is an image showing the pin diagram of this transistor.The BC879 transistor is marked as "CEC".The complementary PNP transistor to the BC879 is the BC880.
