Questions

Is there a KiCad symbol and footprint for the PC817C?

Yes. The symbol is Isolator:PC817 and the footprint Package_DIP:DIP-4_W7.62mm, both drawn on this page. PCBKit places them on a board for you when you design with it.

What package is the PC817C?

DIP-4, with 4 pins. Its footprint is drawn on this page.

Where is the PC817C datasheet?

GOODWORK publishes it: the Datasheet link on this page opens it.

Where can I order the PC817C?

JLCPCB lists it as part C3025164, with 1,338,973 in stock; the sellers' links on this page open their listings.

What can replace the PC817C?

Parts like it in the library: the EL817S1(C)(TU)-F by Everlight Electronics, the PC817C-S by UMW, the EL817(B)-F by Everlight Electronics and the EL817S1(B)(TU)-F by Everlight Electronics. Check their datasheets: a part that fits the footprint may still differ in its ratings.

Which open-source boards use the PC817C?

8 boards in 8 repositories on GitHub; the most starred are listed on this page, with their KiCad files.
