Overview
The MAX232ACUE is a RS232 IC made by Maxim Integrated (Analog Devices) in a TSSOP-16 package with 16 pins. 0℃~+70℃ 120Kbps 2 2 4.5V~5.5V Transceiver TSSOP-16 RS232 ICs.
PCBKit's library has its KiCad symbol (Interface_UART:MAX232, from KiCad's library) and its footprint (Package_SO:TSSOP-16_4.4x5mm_P0.65mm, from KiCad's library), ready for a KiCad board. JLCPCB lists it (part C3212219).

Questions
Is there a KiCad symbol and footprint for the MAX232ACUE?
Yes. The symbol is Interface_UART:MAX232 and the footprint Package_SO:TSSOP-16_4.4x5mm_P0.65mm, both drawn on this page. PCBKit places them on a board for you when you design with it.
What package is the MAX232ACUE?
TSSOP-16, with 16 pins. Its footprint is drawn on this page.
Where is the MAX232ACUE datasheet?
Maxim Integrated (Analog Devices) publishes it: the Datasheet link on this page opens it.
Where can I order the MAX232ACUE?
JLCPCB lists it as part C3212219, with 0 in stock; the sellers' links on this page open their listings.
What can replace the MAX232ACUE?
Parts like it in the library: the SP3232EEY-L/TR by MaxLinear, the MAX3232IPW by Texas Instruments, the MAX3232EIPW by Texas Instruments and the MAX3232ECPW by Texas Instruments. Check their datasheets: a part that fits the footprint may still differ in its ratings.
