Questions

Is there a KiCad symbol and footprint for the 24LC256-I/P?

Yes. The symbol is Memory_EEPROM:24LC256 and the footprint Package_DIP:DIP-8_W8.89mm_SMDSocket_LongPads, both drawn on this page. PCBKit places them on a board for you when you design with it.

What package is the 24LC256-I/P?

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

Where is the 24LC256-I/P datasheet?

Microchip Technology publishes it: the Datasheet link on this page opens it.

Where can I order the 24LC256-I/P?

JLCPCB lists it as part C411624, with 47 in stock; the sellers' links on this page open their listings.

What can replace the 24LC256-I/P?

Parts like it in the library: the AT24C32N by HGSEMI, the 24LC64-I/P by Microchip Technology, the FT24C64A-EDR-B by FMD and the 24LC1025-I/P by Microchip Technology. Check their datasheets: a part that fits the footprint may still differ in its ratings.
