A major chord is the chord itself. For example I would say B Major, I only mean B. For minor chords, the symbol is a small "m". "Dm" is read as D-minor, "Am" as A-minor and so on.
The sharp (#) is used for a half-step (1 fret) higher of a particular chord. Example, the F is formed with your index finger flatted on the 1st fret right, middle on 2nd fret, ring and pinkie on 3rd, right? With the same formation (F) but this time you formed it starting at the 2nd fret, it will now becomes F-sharp (F#). Moving along is G-G#-A-A#-B-C-C#-D-D#-E respectively then back to F.
The flat symbol [just like a small "B" (b)] is the reverse of the sharp (#). The chord is at flat when you go half step or 1 fret to the left.

∆ or M is major
- or m is minor
+ or aug is augmented
7 or dom is dominant 7 (so ∆7 is major7 and -7 is minor 7)
o or wdim/dim is diminished
ø or dimh is half diminished
o7 or dim7 is diminished 7
b or ♭ is flat
# or ♯ is sharp
there's a natural sign too but that's used on single notes only not with chords, theres double flat and double sharp but again these are used for notes only usually, sometimes in the key signature.

There is no symbol for major, so if you see an "E" chord, it means an E Major.
"m" is the symbol for minor, so if you see "Em", it means an E minor chord, and so on.
