Since in Chinese culture there is a lot of materials about astronomy and supernatural methods so I'm interested to know about Gematria as it exists in most languages...

1Then Chinese have a stroke counting system for Chinese characters when choosing a name. That's supernatural.– StanFeb 5, 2014 at 10:13

If you are asking for similar Chinese Numerology, here's some useful info which describe the meaning of different numbers in Chinese culture. I would not define it as a classical Gematria system, but that's the only thing in my mind now.
I know you can calculate Gematria on UTF8 (Hence Unicode and all the chars) using the Online Gimatria Calculator http://www.gematrix.org - it worked for me in Hebrew too: http://www.c2kb.com/gematria - Hope it was help full.
Try the site: biblenumbers.atwebpages.com
Chinese gematria following a pattern similar to the Greek and Hebrew can be found at the web pages listed below.
This is based on the traditional Chinese using the Big5 character set. The first character "one" is given the number 1, and so on through all the Chinese characters. Since Big5 is set up with "gaps" between blocks of characters, the numbers jump accordingly just like the Greek and Hebrew, but not by increasing powers of ten.
You can find the explanation of the Chinese gematria system here: http://biblenumbers.atwebpages.com/data/schema.htm#chinese
A Chinese character gematria convertor is on this page: http://biblenumbers.atwebpages.com/chinese/convertor.htm
