That is not a symbol. It is a parchment scroll, on which a scribe has hand-written Deuteronomy 6:4-9 and 11:13-21, as commanded there. The scroll is rolled up and inserted into a case, which is attached to the doorpost which is on the right as one enters. This is done for every doorway in a Jewish home, except the bathroom.
It is a mezuzah.
The mezuzah is a small rectangular container which holds a parchment inscribed with the portion from Scriptures called the Shema: "Hear, O Israel..." (Deuteronomy 6:4-9 and 11:13-21) which reminds Jews that we are answerable to God, that we are to love Him and keep His commandments, and to be diligent to teach our children His ways. As we come into the home, we have this reminder before us (usually on the right-hand side as one enters). Etymologically, the word "mezuzot" means the doorposts, but the term has come to be used for the container with the parchment which is affixed to the doorpost.
