This depends on the Hindu in question. Some Hindus don't think of any symbols as important, some think of all symbols as important, some think of certain symbols as important and others as unimportant. Usually the list of important symbols would be the swastika and the Om.
Just as Cross is important to christians and the crescent and star are important to muslims. Swastika for hindus denotes welfare of the whole world and Om stands for the Supreme spirit in the world.
