  We give a motivic proof of a character formula for depth zero supercuspidal
representations of $p$-adic SL(2). We begin by finding the virtual Chow motives
for the character values of all depth zero supercuspidal representations of
$p$-adic SL(2), at topologically unipotent elements. Then we find the virtual
Chow motives for the values of the Fourier transform of all regular elliptic
orbital integrals with depth zero in their Cartan subalgebra, at topologically
nilpotent elements. Finally, we prove a character formula for depth zero
supercuspidal representations by showing that the formula corresponds to three
identities in the ring of virtual Chow motives over $\mathbb{Q}$.
