What 땐 means
땐 marks the time the rest of the phrase is about.
It follows a time expression: 어릴 땐 means “when I was young,” and 밥 먹을 땐 means “when eating.” The full form is 때는: 때 means “time” or “occasion,” and 는 marks that time as the topic.
A 1995 record of Korean regional speech gives 어떤 땐; its editors write the form as 어떤 때는.
Conversational and compact; it fits speech and writing that sounds like speech.
In formal prose, prefer 때는.

1Why does 땐 show as a box on some devices?
Because that device's fonts have no glyph for it. The character is still correct and still copies correctly — the box is a missing glyph, not a broken character.
