This is the result of M-: (elfeed-search-selected :ignore-region) 

#s(elfeed-entry
    ("www.cbc.com.com" . "https://www.cbc.com.com/defg/Polyglot-programming_%7E017e364530a5359046?source=rss")
    "Polyglot programming - Abc"
    "https://www.cbc.com.com/defg/Polyglot-programming_%7E017e364530a5359046?source=rss"
    1530592564.0
    #s(elfeed-ref "07038fa7a0c9db39b71600a20fc065b1ea9e9a2d")
        html
        nil
        (ror unread)
        "https://www.cbc.com.com/ab/feed/defg/rss?q"
        nil))

#s appears twice. What does it indicate?

Is (ror unread) an array?

Why does this have a dot? ("www.cbc.com.com" . "https...")

  1. That is a struct of elfeed-entry (defined by elfeed). The #s here means struct. The first one is for elfeed-entry, the second is for elfeed-ref.

    (cl-defstruct website name shortname url shorturl)

(make-website :name "StackOverflow"
              :url "https://stackoverflow.com/")
;; => #s(website "StackOverflow" nil "https://stackoverflow.com/" nil)
(make-website :name "Youtube" :shortname "YT"
              :url "youtube.com/" :shorturl "youtu.be")
;; => #s(website "Youtube" "YT" "youtube.com/" "youtu.be")

  2. #s in the form of #s((a . "a") (b . "b")) indicates a hash table. Also see ErgoEmacs's document with code samples.

  3. The dot indicates a pair. '("a" . "b") means (cons "a" "b"). See dotted pair notation.

Relevant source code from elfeed: elfeed-entry, elfeed-ref.
