Very software out there has a limit for character but I haven't seen any such limit for a post in WordPress. So I need to know if there is actually a Max character limit for a post in WordPress or not? If there is then what's the limit?

In what context? Per post? Per comment? What? Total database capacity? No offense but as written the question makes very little sense.– s_ha_dumCommented Nov 22, 2015 at 21:28

If you check the database description you'll see that the post content column is longtext, which is:
A TEXT column with a maximum length of 4,294,967,295 or 4GB (232 − 1) characters. The effective maximum length is less if the value contains multibyte characters. The effective maximum length of LONGTEXT columns also depends on the configured maximum packet size in the client/server protocol and available memory. Each LONGTEXT value is stored using a 4-byte length prefix that indicates the number of bytes in the value.

You will more likely run out of usable memory before the max character length becomes an issue.
