You can render icons to the list items by mapping the iconCss  field. This iconCss field create a span in the list item with mapped class name to allow styling as per your need.

In the following sample, icon classes are mapped with iconCss field.

let sortFormatData = [
    { Class: 'asc-sort', Type: 'Sort A to Z', Id: '1' },
    { Class: 'dsc-sort', Type: 'Sort Z to A ', Id: '2' },
    { Class: 'filter', Type: 'Filter', Id: '3' },
    { Class: 'clear', Type: 'Clear', Id: '4' }
];
//initiates the component
let sortFormat = new ej.dropdowns.ComboBox({
    //set the data to dataSource property
    dataSource: sortFormatData,
    // map the icon column to iconCSS field.
    fields: { value: 'Type', iconCss: 'Class' },
    // set placeholder to ComboBox input element
    placeholder: 'Find a format'
});
sortFormat.appendTo('#comboelement');
