Getting the || sign while using Kurier

Question

If I compile the file:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[math]{kurier}
\begin{document}   
  $\|x\|$
\end{document}

all I get is a x, whereas what I should get is ||x||. I found a way around this problem, which consists in typing \left\|x\right\|. Is this a known bug? Is there a better way of dealing with it?

Does \lVert...\rVert produce the same problem? P.S. Nice to see you here! — manooooh, Mar 10 '19 at 19:15
Yes. Using \lVert...\rVert (and the amsmath package), the result is the same. — José Carlos Santos, Mar 10 '19 at 19:32
See, for a very similar situation, https://tex.stackexchange.com/a/114834/4427 Kurier and Iwona are essentially the same. — egreg, Mar 10 '19 at 20:09

Here there is the same your question with the answer of the excellent user @egreg since 2010-11-30:

It seems that the font developer forgot to add the correct symbol: slot "6B in sy-kurrierz is empty.

\left\| x \right\| works.

Good hunting! Fatto buona caccia! – egreg Mar 10 '19 at 20:00
@egreg Ahahaahahahahahhaha. LOL. I'm absolutely not in favour of the hunting :-). I often find what I'm looking for on the net, and I also tell my students. When my students must to find something into web the right keywords they are indispensable. :-) – Sebastiano Mar 10 '19 at 20:04
@egreg is not it wrong to add \left and \right to every math expression e.g. inline math? – manooooh Mar 10 '19 at 20:10

@manooooh This is an emergency. ;-) – egreg Mar 10 '19 at 20:13
