You are missing the closing a tag in your jQuery.

</i></a>

Addtionally, IE11 (Edge mode), seems to choke on the jquery(document).ready type calls. However, changing to the shortcut method $(function(){code}); seems to work just fine. The javascript below has been tested and confirmed to work with Chrome, IE8+.

$(function(){  
  $('.widget_recent_entries .sidebar_title').append('<a href="<?php echo site_url();?>/news" class="fr news_more">more <i class="fa fa-arrow-circle-right"></i></a>');
  });

Lastly, keep in mind that jQuery 2.X only works with IE9 and higher (which was not the issue here, but a friendly reminder to those that may visit in the future).
