There are different kinds of signs and symbols in the piano music. Some even include pictures that cannot be attached here. Therefore I'll give some signs and you can check out the links below for the pictures.

Tempo markings tell the pace (or speed) which are to play

There are many musical signs and symbols. The two most important (probably) are the treble clef and the bass clef. The treble clef is played on the piano with the right hand (most of the time) and the bass clef on the piano with the left hand. On the piano you find the high notes on the right and the low notes on the left. There are also symbols for other musical actions (such as playing the music very fast, quickly, very slow, gently, louder, softer, etc.)
