Questions

Is there a KiCad symbol and footprint for the 6N137?

Yes. The symbol is Isolator:6N137 and the footprint Package_DIP:DIP-8_W7.62mm, both drawn on this page. PCBKit places them on a board for you when you design with it.

What package is the 6N137?

DIP-8, with 8 pins. Its footprint is drawn on this page.

Where is the 6N137 datasheet?

Everlight Electronics publishes it: the Datasheet link on this page opens it.

Where can I order the 6N137?

JLCPCB lists it as part C142297, with 19,445 in stock; the sellers' links on this page open their listings.

What can replace the 6N137?

Parts like it in the library: the 6N137M by UMW, the HCPL-3120-000E by Broadcom Limited, the HCPL-3120-500E by AVAGO and the HCPL-2631-500E by Broadcom Limited. Check their datasheets: a part that fits the footprint may still differ in its ratings.
