AFAIK there is no database which contains all chinese chars... they are too 
many and mostly not used at all. big5 and gb2312 contain the most common 
ones and for daily life it's sufficient. Cantonese should only be availible 
on the HKSCS extensions in the Unihan database, although they also use big5 
and nowadays gb chars but have different pronounciation for them. 

you also should keep in mind that the tone (1-5 for mandarin) sometimes 
varies on the same character in relation to the character in front and 
behind of it.

and if you wnat to include minority dialects and laguages, too, what about 
taiwanese, hakka, etc. ?

If you want to do that you really need a real dictionary.
