I would write it this way

$("ul").append("<li><a href=\" \"><?php echo $this->session->userdata('username'); ?></a></li>");

or this way

$("ul").append("<li><a href=''><?php echo $this->session->userdata('username'); ?></a></li>");

Change the "" of the href to '' otherwise they close your string. Here is a working example: 

$(function() {
  $("ul").append("<li><a href=''><?php echo $this->session->userdata('username'); ?></a></li>");
});
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>

<ul></ul>

Hope this helps!
