Questions

Is there a KiCad symbol and footprint for the PL2303GL?

Yes. The symbol is EasyEDA_Cloud:PL2303GL and the footprint Package_SO:SOP-8_3.76x4.96mm_P1.27mm, both drawn on this page. PCBKit places them on a board for you when you design with it.

What package is the PL2303GL?

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

Where is the PL2303GL datasheet?

Prolific Tech publishes it: the Datasheet link on this page opens it.

Where can I order the PL2303GL?

JLCPCB lists it as part C2905408, with 6,424 in stock; the sellers' links on this page open their listings.

What can replace the PL2303GL?

Parts like it in the library: the XPD319B by Shenzhen Fuman Elec, the CH9101N by WCH (Nanjing Qinheng Microelectronics), the XPD319BP by Shenzhen Fuman Elec and the LDR6028 by Legendary. Check their datasheets: a part that fits the footprint may still differ in its ratings.
