Can anybody help me about how to support pseudo element (:after, :before) for ie8?
Not much you can do about it. IE8 has limited support.
Is there a particular problem you are trying to solve?

I was just trying icon font. do you have any idea about how can we use iconic font for ie8?
OK…but what problem are you having.
Does the icon-font not work, if so, in what way?
Without more information and, ideally, a link it’s hard to help further.
I think you can use any icon font that supports EOT. EOT is the only format with ie8 support for @font-face. ( http://caniuse.com/#search=font )
For insert an icon in your page, you can use the after and before pseudo elements, also in IE8, but with a single :, not a double.

When you want to use :before and :after in ie8, you need to use a doctype.
