Browser behavior using HTTPS protocol

It is known, that

In HTTPS, the communication protocol is encrypted using Transport Layer Security (TLS) or, formerly, Secure Sockets Layer (SSL)


My question is - having a simple `html` login form hosted on the `HTTPS` enabled server when the user enters the address starting `https://` does the browser automatically encrypts the login data (login and password) thus allowing for a secure communication (the browser sees the `HTTPS` as a protocol and understands that the data send HAVE to be encrypted)?

Thx for explanation.

It's easy to overlook something you're not looking for.
