Overview
The MAX3232ECDB is a RS232 IC made by Texas Instruments in a SSOP-16-208mil package with 16 pins. 0.3mA 0℃~+70℃ 2 2 250Kbps 3V~5.5V Transceiver Yes ±15kV SSOP-16-208mil RS232 ICs ROHS.
PCBKit's library has its KiCad symbol (Interface_UART:MAX3232, from KiCad's library) and its footprint (Package_SO:SSOP-16_5.3x6.2mm_P0.65mm, from KiCad's library), ready for a KiCad board. 391 are in stock at JLCPCB (part C414612).

Is there a KiCad symbol and footprint for the MAX3232ECDB?
Yes. The symbol is Interface_UART:MAX3232 and the footprint Package_SO:SSOP-16_5.3x6.2mm_P0.65mm, both drawn on this page. PCBKit places them on a board for you when you design with it.
What package is the MAX3232ECDB?
SSOP-16-208mil, with 16 pins. Its footprint is drawn on this page.
Where is the MAX3232ECDB datasheet?
Texas Instruments publishes it: the Datasheet link on this page opens it.
Where can I order the MAX3232ECDB?
JLCPCB lists it as part C414612, with 391 in stock; the sellers' links on this page open their listings.
What can replace the MAX3232ECDB?
Parts like it in the library: the SP3232EEA-L/TR by MaxLinear, the GM3232ENA by GATEMODE, the MAX3232EEAE+T by Maxim Integrated (Analog Devices) and the SP3220EEA-L/TR by MaxLinear. Check their datasheets: a part that fits the footprint may still differ in its ratings.
