I know how to convert 0101 | 0111 in which the 0101 gives me 5, and 0111 gives me 7 So hexadecimal number is: 57

But how about 0011 | 1100 0011 gives me 3, but 1100 gives me 12, does it mean the hexadecimal number is 312?

Thanks!

In hexadecimal you need 16 digits. This is usually achieved by using $0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,A,B,C,D,E,F$. That is $F$ is fifteen and $10$ is sixteen.

When converting from binary to hexadecimal, each group of four binary digits becomes one hexadecimal digit. In the case you are asking, $1100_2$ corresponds to $C_{16}$.
