If the fabric is machine-washable, there is a picture with a bucket, temperature recommendations, and the settings. Each of the symbols means different instructions.
Example: You want to wash your silk clothes, then you see there is a Laundry Care Symbol Chart that looks like a bucket filled with water and 30 degrees. That means you should wash your silk clothes in the washing machine using cool water.

Since laundry symbols are an important part of garments care, so the symbols were developed as part of the International Organization for Standardization (ISO). Symbols or pictograms are chosen rather than words because it's easier to identify. The symbols have some variations in Europe, Asia, and the US. But, it's not a big deal, you can still understand it easily even though there are slight differences.
Laundry Care Symbol Chart based on ISO uses five basic icons, for washing, drying, dry cleaning, ironing, and bleaching. Once you understand the basic icon shape, you'll easily understand if there are slight differences. For example, the letter 'X' in the icon means 'Don't do it'.
