In music, a repeat sign is a sign that indicates a section should be repeated. If the piece has one repeat sign alone, then that means to repeat from the beginning, and then continue on (or stop, if the sign appears at the end of the piece). A corresponding sign facing the other way indicates where the repeat is to begin.
This is usually followed by al fine (lit. "to the end"), which means to repeat to the word fine and stop, or al coda (lit. "to the tail"), which means repeat up to the coda sign and then jump forward into the coda. Dal segno (lit. "From the sign") Tells the performer to repeat playing of the music starting at the nearest preceding segno.
Repeat sign. Repetition is important in music, where sounds or sequences are often repeated. It may be called restatement, such as the restatement of a theme.While it plays a role in all music, with noise and musical tones lying along a spectrum from irregular to periodic sounds, it is especially prominent in specific styles.

A repeat sign (or, repeat bar line [1]) looks like the music end, but it has two dots, one above the other, indicating that the section of music that is before is to be repeated. The beginning of the repeated passage can be marked by a begin-repeat sign ; if this is absent, the repeat is understood to be from the beginning of the piece or movement.
Al segno indicates that the player should go to the sign. Da capo al segno (D.C. al Segno), "From the beginning to the sign (𝄋)." [3] In operas of the 18th century, dal segno arias were a common alternative to da capo arias which began with an opening ritornello, which was then omitted in the repeat (the sign being placed after the ritornello).

Might be a good idea to describe the 'repeat previous bar(s)' symbol here (the one that kindof looks like a % sign), or add a reference to a page describing it. I found a neat image explaining the repeat with endings too, found here: --user:Yuletide 19:41, 8 December 2006 (UTC) That is a good image, but it's probably copyrighted.
